- The wait is over! The SSTrig chick of RLK & GLG has hatched and is now introduced to Dad RLK on the nest! What an absolutely beautiful moment to see this tiny white fluffy chick meet Dad and be placed underneath him (and note the small white bag!!) RLK is beside himself with excitement and he is enamored with his chick. He could not sit still & kept getting up to touch and look at this new life ♥
The SSTrig chick hatched on January 28th 2025. The chick was fostered to another nest to get fed from a parent that was on a dummy egg (there own chick was hatching in the incubator) From Sharyn Broni - "Yesterday the chick weighed 400g in the morning and 365g later in the day. Its tummy was very full in the morning so had not been feed by the afternoon weigh. The chicks weight is back up to 405g this morning. The dad at the foster nest has fed it well and have their own chick today now. The chick will be weighed twice a day until it is 7 days old. Then once a day for the following week. After which weighing will be weekly, typically on a Tuesday."
Happy day for GLG and RLK and SSTrig chick!💕 Mum GLG is going to get a wonderful surprise when she returns! Thank you for watching!

2024-2025 Season of Royal Albatross
Nest site: Signal Station Trig. Taiaroa Head, New Zealand
Royalcam Couple: RLK (Red, Lime, black) 12-year-old male and GLG (Green, Lime Green) 14-year-old female.
Egg laid: November 11th 2024. It has been candled and is fertile. RLK and GLG will take turns to incubate the egg for 2.5 months.
Egg hatched: January 28th 2025
This pair started breeding in 2019/20, but their egg failed that season. They successfully raised two female chicks during 2021 and 2023 respectively. Their nests during these seasons were not far from the Royalcam nests of Tiaki and Manaaki and the chicks were seen on cam later in the season.

Ok I think I've got this right.
Storks bring people babies, and door dash delivers and unwraps Albie chicks to delighted dads.
Dad's excitement is wonderful to see!

To everything turn, turn, turn 🎶
There is a season turn, turn, turn 🎶
And a time to every purpose under Heaven 🎶
A time to be born, a time to die 🎶
A time to plant, a time to reap 🎶
A time to kill, a time to heal 🎶
A time to laugh, a time to weep 🎶

@@ladyhawk God Bless your soul as l know it’s weary. We are never given more than we can handle but when the times arise that you don’t feel like you can, and Lord knows l have those times, that is when we say “it’s ok, God has got this one” ….
Well said. Thank you.
Perfect ⏳❣️

Thank you Lady Hawk. I hope this is a balm to your heart too. Much needed.💜
Watching this nest helps to soften the sadness with a Florida nest. Perfect example of a cam low and a cam high.
0:20 That little beak snap is SO ADORABLE!!!! Then him watching the ranger, too cute.
So adorable precious baby 🙏🦢❣️❣️🤍🩵
The miracle of birth and fatherly love ❤❤. Great thanks Lady Bird
He did GOOD 😊
Actually, the albatross lives the whole stork story! They have an egg and next thing someone delivers a newly hatched baby😂❤😂❤😂❤
Oh how sweet. Beautiful bird, reminds me of soft falling snow. Looks so gentle , gentle giant, I’m going to have to read up on these birds. Nest looks in danger being on the ground, but I guess that’s how they nest.
Thank you, this is a start to making our hearts smile again. Thank you LH.
They don’t really have predators there…..
🎆🎈OOOH ! The Wonder a Baby's Love I Cry with Emotions welcome little angel we love all bright white .Thank you very much dear Lady Hawk🌹, good luck to the parents RLK 💞GLG 🐥🦢✨🎉❤

@ladyhawk absolutely LH. I personally was thrilled to see this after what we went thru with our dear E's.
@ladyhawk This brought tears to my eyes. So grateful to witness this joy.

I just went from heartbreak and tears of sadness & loss (SWFL), to tears of Joy, Happiness & new life.. Royal Albatross has been my 2nd home away from SWFL since my son's stroke... So happy for RLK & GLG🥰 TY Lady Hawk💖 DOCRC❤

So moving this first meeting between Dad and his chick 💕 Welcome to the world little one, you are lucky to be born at Taiaroa Head🍀 you will be pampered by loving parents and wonderful rangers 🤗 Many thanks Lady Hawk for sharing this sweet video💐
Seeing this sweet clip as people in DC are still being rescued from 🥶 Potomac plane crash. For me a vivid reminder that none are guaranteed a next day. Nature continues... 🕊️🙏
Such a delight to see the rangers bringing RLK's chick to the nest! I hope GLG returns soon to meet her chick, but in the meantime RLK will have a chance to bond with the little one. And keep him/her well fed! Thank you Lady Hawk--the timing of this blessed event couldn't be better!
Piękna, wzruszająca scena, gdy maluszek wraca do rodzinnego gniazda. Rośnij zdrowo ❤

Bless you Lady Hawk.❤ A heartwarming moment during tremendous grief.
After such a sad few days, this is the most welcoming sight to see. Thank you Lady Hawk, we needed this so much. Thank you for still keeping us informed and to see such a beautiful sight in such a hard time. Big hugs to you, my friend. ❤🙏

The difference here, is that New Zealand dedicates themselves to the care and protection of these amazing birds, hand hatching chicks so that they have a chance to survive in this polluted world. Floridians are using rodenticide in the area of their beloved eagles nest where the birds get poisoned and die. We have to do better and learn from these tragedies!
Treat the environment better so that every living thing can have a healthy happy family. Not just humans!
That is not what the chicks died from according to the necropsy. It was avian flu.
Wheee have an Albie Chick🥰clack clack. Welcome to the World lil white Wonder!
And how calm & happy Dad looks, awwww🫶Happy new Albi Season for all of us.
Thx😘 dear LH🦅 New Circle of Life start now.
Youpi! A new baby Royal Albatross. He is so cute and the father is so tender. 🥰
That is SO PRECIOUS!! omg! He looks sooo happy too! Its amazing how docile they are. Look at that content face..
I’m so glad to see this! The season has begun 🥰🥳🥰 thank you for sharing Lady Hawk, how nice is it to see this after the terrible news at SWFL eagle nest! So happy seeing the little one taken out of the bag 😊
Hi CenturianEagle I was focused when they whipped out that little white bag and there was a chick in there!!! Too cute!!! Sharyn came back and weighed the chick at 17:40 and RLK does the first feeding around 17:14. ♥
@ thank you for those updates LadyHawk! 😊🙏, haha yes I was focused too, it was the longest 10 seconds ever while the little chick was being removed from the bag 😄. That was a very cute weigh in😄 and That is a very cute baby! And RLK is also adorable- he seems very large when seen next to Sharyn ! Thanks for the reply Lady Hawk, I love the albies, it can be very healing to watch them which I’m very grateful for after the tragedy with the eaglets
What a beautiful sight Lady Hawk!💞💕💞Thank you for this soul food!☯️💟☮️💟☯️💟☮️☯️Congratulations!💕💞💕💞💕💞
So happy for RLK and GLG - still do not understand the foster parenting for it at first- but so happy it is now with its real dad! . . . it has been such a rough week and I still try to comprehend it all . . . yet, it is with true joy to welcome this new life and pray it will grow up without horrible juvenile attacks etc. and just be an adorable albie chick loving life.
Hello Stuart - Sometimes the chicks hatch and go right to their parent who is incubating a dummy egg. What happened here was the chick hatched on Jan 28th and because at the time GLG was on the nest for 14 days she would not have any food to give her newly hatched chick. The rangers found a pair of foster parents whose chick was just beginning to hatch (it can take 5-6 days) so they decided it was be best for RLK and GLG's chick to be fed by albatross foster parent. It worked out well and then RLK came back the next day - so they left their chick with the foster parent until their own egg hatched. You could not take away a dummy egg and then put a live chick under them and then go back to a dummy egg. So the process did take a little longer but was successful and the foster parents chick hatched and they have their own chick back. ♥ The rangers main goal is the preservation of the albatross species and that begins with making sure each chick will survive to fledge! There are perils for the newly hatched chicks that is why they monitor them so closely!
Enchantingly beautiful far beyond what mere words could possibly express.❤❤❤ Thank you for this, Lady Hawk; and to the Rangers for all they do. Warmest wishes to all!😊
Just the joy we all need this week! Congratulations and welcome to the world, little albie! I swear Dad's smiling with a look of total contentment with his new chick❤🐥❤
Absolutely precious. Thank you Lady Hawk for a wonderful video in these sad days for our wildlife. Just a great video and a wonderful sight to see and watch ❤
Thank you for this precious video…I read your description, but am a bit behind & am not connecting the dots with the chick’s adventures up until now… so, I’m just going to enjoy the moment…❤❤❤❤❤❤
