- Info by Sharyn Broni (DOC) Mod :
Today the chick at the Royalcam nest is 26 days old and weighs 1.82kg. Rewind back to around 10.40am NZT to see the action. As the chicks grow a basket is used to weigh them in. OGK and YRK have been coming back for change overs quite frequently which has lead to healthy weight gains for their chick. The heaviest chick today is 2.72kg.

Imagine a big bird just flies into your bedroom, slowly takes your baby from a crib and weighs it, then returns as if nothing happens. LOL
I'm carcking up laughing.
slowly takes it with his wings 🤔😂
Lmao! I’m crying!! Thanks for the visual!! That should be a movie….lol
Hahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
MaMa was acting like she called the Doctor for a visit.
😁
that's it
Like saying: "What took you so long?!! I've a mind to bite you but for being in the presence of junior, I'll keep my peace".
The mom pokes the little one's head like it was saying "Behave!"
Mom to Doctor: What took you so long?
"Here, ma'am, I shall return your cloud to you."
Looks like a fluffy football. It’s pretty cute.
🤣🤣🤣
The mom: Don’t worry kid, these animals are veeeery slow...
@Jon B You didn't get the joke
@Jon B ahh now I get ya.
😂😂😂😂
The absolutely smooth and "slow motion" action of the man doesn't bring on anxiety or defensive reaction.. remarkable.
That trick probably doesn't work as well on grizzly mamas

It must be hardwired somewhere extremely deep in the animal brain that something moving fast is trying to get away from us, or is trying to get us.

I see a lot of people talking about it so:
These birds have been habituated to the scientists, and are used to them. I've noticed that in their albatross videos they have a specific, easily recognized uniform, and the albatross in that area are used to them being present from a young age. I saw some other people point out that they aren't used to land predators, which is correct. These nests are in New Zealand, where there are no land based predators, and as such don't fully recognize the potential danger in having a large creature coming close to them and interacting with them.
I have also seen a lot of people asking/complaining about whether or not they feed the albatross. They don't, because they don't want the albatross to associate them with food. They don't want to encourage these birds to seek out people for a snack, which can but the birds in danger in a myriad of ways, or to beg from the researchers when they're trying to do tests. Would feeding them make the birds more 'friendly?' Yes, but at both the birds and researchers detriment. So they don't.
The point of these interactions is to keep an eye on the health of the albatross population, not for them to become dependent on people.
That said, the trust they've established with the birds is important. The scientists near ritualistic slow movement and deliberate touches are 'signal behaviors' which further indicate to the birds that the scientists aren't predators. Some of the researchers do a beak touch before trying to access the eggs, or 'garden' the area around the albatross's nest, as shown in some of the other videos.
As for albatross intelligence, they can absolutely recognize the uniform, and I would guess at least some of them do recognize the specific researchers they interact with. Just because they aren't parrots doesn't mean they're totally clueless.
It's really cool to see this type of research is available to watch. Thanks for uploading these.
why u comment when u have no clue? new zealand is ridden with land predators now as humans introduced many, these are on remote small island where its still safe, albatross dont need to recognise people in any island with any albatross species u will find them very docile as they spend all their life flying around southern oceans and dont deal with humans and have no fear of them, the weighting of the chick is useless data that so far had absolutely no useful outcome, if there was food shortage and loss of weight in chicks u could see it clearly by simply comparing foto, knowong exact grams is meaningless, really dumb disturbance of birds
@@MostIntelligentMan your name should be 'pessimist position" and not neutral position. Just saying.
No land-based predators... but there are cases of a single cat of the island's lamp house caretaker wiping out an entire bird species endemic to that island. Same goes for pigs of new settlers.
@@MostIntelligentMan Basil the seagull is so meaty, he regularly gets confused for an albatross.
I like it how they're both comfortable like chilling and vibing, as the humans are working.
@ki11 intruderz I'm sorry bro, you're missing a period on your sentence.
good input, The Master Chief
@WackboysFuneral wat
Lol this comment thread 😂
It's like mum knew they were conducting a harmless test. Even baby went along with it, as mum didn't object. Apart from a few beak clicks 🤗🤗
Her beak clicks means "if you hurt my baby, you'll get this beak...you'll be a dead man."
Its because she was a baby when they tested her
@Steven Strain.
😂😂😂😂😂.
@@wanicki3575 aliens are real
@Steven Strain lol but that isnt unique to albatross mothers
I didn't realize how big an albatross actually is until the guy knelt. Both heads are practically on par.
You ain’t kidding thats one big bird,, The baby with fluffy down was the size of a chicken!
i wonder if you can EAT them ? !
@@ancient-relic questions ? bout what ?
@@pappy451 Crass, very crass. We have enough problems with them being caught in long lines let's not go the way of the dodo.
@@pappy451 yup
This is equivalent to alien abduction. Both are for scientific purposes.
alien abduction are too for scientific purposes ;)
If the aliens looked like Millie Bobby Brown then they can probe me all they want. 🤩
Lol
The baby was not abducted...only weighed with mama's permission
Well, no. Because, what happens with alien abductions is, they never come back. Her baby came back.

@@caveatlector2671 : Same.
Human: Mama let's weigh your little one.
Bird: Oh no not again.
To be fair this could be dad, as both parents look after the chick, taking turns at nest and hunting for food
Yeah lol, it could just be me but it is quite a bit weird to assume that it is a mother bird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ although I get why.

The Bird thinking about the nature around him "oh, the water, the trees, the grass, the wind, the other birds, the weird people that occasionaly take your baby and then put it back"
Quite impressive, actually. Never would have expected one could get away with that without momma bringin the pain :)
@Rodol Rubinstein would you like to discuss to the class what your mother did to you in the past?
Yeah so the first time they showed up in full plate armor and just let her do her worst, now she thinks they’re invincible and doesn’t bother.
Read on a different vid that the mother was hand reared and released into the wild, so they understand these people handling their chicks this way isn’t threatening or endangering
What a privilege to see. An extraordinary bird. I envy these guys and their work. Just amazing!
Hfdh
the way the scientists handle the operation is great as well. much respect.
I keep watching these videos the way mother bird keeps watching them. Lol
Momma Bird: For all of your scientific studies, my quote is at least a pound of fish a week!
Baby Bird: Momma, when do I get to eat?
Right now *BLAARGH*
@@xandan1668 xd
I love how, in all the clips of this momma and baby, the rangers move slowly so as to not spook the birds.
Amazing mom does not flies away,even let baby be touched , she might be used to with this pair ,should have given some appreciation to mom with some treat 🤔🤭
To keep the natural order thriving, you never interact with wildlife by feeding them in an unnescerary way which would change the wildlife (the Albatross) behaviour in wanting to depend on human interaction which can make a huge impact in a negative way on their diet. (Even if it's a small treat, the bird would rely on humans to give them food over caught food)
You see that huge lake behind the bird…yeah….THAT’S MORE THAN A TREAT.
@@Chlrintruc my statement is based on psychological change of the animal’s behaviour on how it would perceive human interaction and would be dependent on those friendly interactions rather than being an independent animal. Of course one treat wont change the Albatross’ behaviour, but if a repetitive friendly interaction occurs then that is an issue.
@@racc_cs the "oooo" guy was probably responding to the OC
@@racc_cs
It might only be an issue if they feed the albatros so much that it doesn't need to go hunting anymore.
But a regular "doctors" visit with a little snack probably doesn't change anything in their behavior except getting comfortable around humans...
And even if you feed the albatros every day for a week so that it doesn't need to hunt during that time I doubt that it would forget how to hunt and simply starve once you stop feeding it :P
You can tell the mother trusts the humans but at the same time her eyes never leave them or her child. I can imagine her clacking beak when they picked it up was basically "Be gentle or else!"
Everything about this is just adorable and lovely. My heart is full 🥰
Wow baby is 5 lbs. what a cutie🥰. Mom and dad did a great job👍🏻
This is almost too much cuteness to handle! 💕 What a fluffy baby.❤️
I know, they are big. But I hadn't had known how big they are in comparison to humans. - This size is impressive.
Damn, that was smooth. I imagine that bill could do so real damage.
1:20 momma bird was saying: carefully carefully carefully 😍
Mom was like "You weigh her good you hear me?"
I have to believe that there is some recognition from the parent here. He does clearly have a confident, calm approach that the bird does not find at all threatening.
The chick looks so bemused by the experience! =D
Bird at the end was like: "Where's my fish?" :)
Trust between human and bird
8
Total !!!😃👍
Nice
Doesn't look like a trust🤣🤣
I want to eat that bird
Thank you, how wonderful our earth is.
Oh, how beautiful. How absolutely gorgeous. I never realized how large of birds they were.
Every time I see one of these birds next to an adult human I'm still so shocked at the size of them 😲❤️
wow! in a basket! Baby is rowing so fast.. soon will be ready for college!!! :-)
College 8 here it comes. Not sure if birds can row thought, might have to be cox
Какая воспитанная птица, обалдеть :)
Such innocence on the part of the birds...lovely to see humans helping and gently interacting with them.
what gorgeous birds! loved watching this and the care they took in interacting with them
Baby is growing up so fast!! Takes 2 hands to handle this baby now!! WOW!!
💜💞☮️
I haven’t had a chance to watch this in a few days. The chick has gotten so big!! So adorable
I CAN'T BELIEVE they got away with that! 😂😂😂
The gentleman's touch
I just love the reaction of both the mom and the baby. The baby is just like "um, ok." and the mom is like "I don't like you, but I will allow you to conduct your business, return my child pls."
Малыш подрос. Стал крупный. Как мило ведет мама птенца: она доверяет орнитологам, хотя и попугала их своим щелканьем клюва.😊
миролюбивость этих птиц удивляет !
интересно как они отпугивают хищников ?
ведь понятно что таким пощелкиванием ни лису, ни другого серьезного хищника не напугаешь :(
@@DobryiGus , продолжительное время слежу с интересом, как протекает жизнь птиц данного гнезда. Где-то вдалеке слышен лай собак, но кроме орнитологов к гнезду никто не подходил. И правда, неужели нет хищников?

Absolutely amazing🙏
Beautiful video.
Thank you for sharing.
These Rangers are so gentle and kind to the birds.
Love watching them.
❤️🦤🤗💕
.WOW!! Having never seen an Albatross, I didn't realize how BIG they are!! Beautiful!
Me and 900K+ other people: Ah yes, bird
Mum is pretty patient with all these humans! Lovely to see a healthy chick after seeing the egg in an earlier update :)
Just discovered these Albatross videos recently. They are fascinating to watch and the birds are so beautiful. I am awed at their tolerance towards humans (at least as far as these videos display).
I've seen documentaries about the Albatross, but I've never seen one next to a human. Now that's a big bird. I'm amazed at the trust between them. Moving slowly and calmly has a lot to do with it, I'm sure. It's wonderful.
At last
Bird: man why you did not bring food today?
😂😂😂LOL
🤣
Man: you're not Stephen....
Mother bird was like: "Meh, I could use the break."
Wow, this man has some serious skill! I worked with birds in Ecuador and for this Albatros to be so calm is amazing!
This guy is a legend. He's so smooth. Thank you sir for being kind and gentle. Also i find it fascinating that the mother bird is so patient with him grabbing her baby. Why can't I stop watching these videos?
I guess it's enough randomness for the day when the algorithm stats suggesting this
This is when the good stuffs start coming out
😂🤣😂
Haha momma making sure he knows she's watching, and then thanking him at the end was awesome. This guy is so smooth he could pet a baby bear with the mother's sitting next to him 🤣
What a cute mama! So sweet towards her baby when they take him/her. Almost like she’s reassuring her kid that it’s ok. Adorable 💕
Thank you for posting this. So calm. Beautiful picture all around.
"You get away from us, or I shall clap at you with my beek" :D
Какой профессионализм! Я в восторге. Так вот подойти к гнезду, взять птенца альбатроса из-под родителя, взвесить и положить на место. И никакой паники. С ума сойти можно!
So gentle with the baby, I love the respect you have for nature!
Lovely birds, and lovely scenery as well.
Could give them a fish after for the cooperation.
no.
This is not a pet. You don’t give anything to wild animals as you’ll compromise their survival. They will be dependent to “humans”.
@@mojaco3910 funny how many pets we have and continue to create. Humanity IS a part of nature both saving and destroying. Your looking at it the wrong way. 1 fish for letting them hold its child? “That’s” what’s destroying ecosystems? Hell humanity has personality traits called “natures.”
@@AutomanicJack yes
@@justinosborne256 Nah, the issue is that they'd become too comfortable with humans and seek them out, expecting food, which obviously can be very dangerous (re: unfriendly people, cars, farmers/fishermen shooting them, becoming dependant on humans for food). We've done all our pet creation about 20-40,000 years ago (dogs). Obviously more recently for the 'domestic' cat (7500 BC), I say domestic loosely as they're still part-wild, hence why they shouldn't be left to roam about our bush and eat native birds, which would be another issue if these lovely birds came closer to humans: our pets!
0:14 "Greetings."
1:20 "Hey hey hey, careful!"
2:13 "Alright, thanks for whatever tf you just did".

I love how Mom always clacks her beak hello and goodbye at them :)
I've seen documentaries about the Albatross, but I've never seen one next to a human. Now that's a big bird. I've read that they have a wingspan of 10 feet and they can weigh 25 pounds. I'm amazed at the trust between them. Moving slowly and calmly has a lot to do with it, I'm sure. It's wonderful.
momma - you know when you were tiny lil potats, some humans lifted you
aunts and frnds - wow, so cool.
💀
That's amazing. Friendly mommy
One of the best HD quality video I have ever seen in UA-cam.
The respect this men has is admirable
Wow, that was absolutely impressive to watch. I'm assuming that Mom is aware of who the visitors are.... but still... wow
This is why I love the internet. I learned on this short video😊
WOW Incredible abilities to feel and reacts is in these birds 😊🤞
Very professional work with the albatross, nicely done.
Well, yes, such a miracle will not fit into the bag :D
Momma always welcomes the man with beak clapping 👏🏼
This is so satisfying to watch!
Wow! That was fascinating.
Albatross are one of my favourite birds
Mom : What are you doing now? Are you kidding me? Are you kidnapping my son in front of me?
"See how they fear me? They had to bring you back due to my slightest intervention. Shall we conquer the world or would you just go on with your nap?"
At the end i think mama bird was worried they substituted her chick for another one. Many birds actually do worry about this due to the cucu. She is trying to figure out what took place.and is dumbfounded. It's interesting that she accepted the human and her beak claps was truly a communication meant to express her disaproval, it was not a physical attack. That is remarkable.
This is both amazing and adorable. Love how mama albi seemed to pat her daughter on the head as if to say, "Mama's so proud of you. You were such a good girl for the researchers."
Wildlife conservation is an amazing job ❤️❤️..
I just thought the bird actually knock on a door,with that beak clacking.
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work. Congratulations
I just want to sit there doing nothing.
Какая Умная Птица Доверяется Людям в Помощи!!! Орриентологи Ветеринары как я поняла Спасибо Что Есть Такие Люди!!!
Просто орнитологи, в дикую природу вмешиваться нельзя, ни с хорошими помыслами ни с плохими.
What a interesting looking bird. I Iike how it just chatters its beak but never moves and is very calm. Also the chick is so fluffy!
This is very sweet to watch! ❤️
Приходят тут, понимаешь, взвешивают)
А защита только и есть--ПОЩЕЛКАТЬ КЛЮВОМ!
give something to eat that poor mother and chick, atleast a small fish.
Same thought.🙄
We shouldn't feed wild animals.
Give something to eat the bird?
These guys are greedy
I'm very sure that they are taking a very good care of the birds. If they care about the weight of the baby, they must've definitely arranged for food.
This is certainly a VERY TRUSTING and PATIENT mother sea gull!
What a beautiful bird. Momma was so mellow, so nice.😁
Какие красивые птицы и в тоже время безащитные
"Don't talk to me or my son ever again!"
Him: then I'll just weigh speechless
That was very very smooth!
Fun to watch!
That was so awesome! I love the trust! ❤️
