Today Tiaki is 135 days of age, she could be fledging in 100 days! Northern royal albatross chicks take around 240 days to fledge, that is 7.5 months of feeding by the parents.
At todays weigh in Tiaki weighed 8.75kg (19.3 pounds). LGK arrived at 10.45am to feed her so her weight will be up now. Todays weight is unsurprisingly down from last weeks amazing weight of 9.2kg and from now on the weight gain will plateau before dropping before fledging.
Today is World Oceans Day
Here is another link to an interesting read regarding tracking albatross. Albatross spend over 85% of their lives on the ocean, the health of the ocean is critical for their survival.

Today Tiaki is 142 days old. She weighed in at 8.3kg today. LGL was in at 12.10pm. Weighing of Tiaki and neighbour SSTrig occured at 9.40am NZST just after a 30 minute power cut. SSTrig chicki is 7.9kg this week, a good weight given she was supplementary fed recently.

Feedings from LGL and LGK have been fairly regular with there being days that both have come in to feed Tiaki.
In 4 months of chick feeding LGK has flown over 33 834 km (21 023 miles).
Although every day is Albatross Day here at Taiaroa Head, tune in on the 19th June, for World Albatross Day 2021

Albatross Tracking
Following the removal of LGL's tracker it was discovered that the device had been collecting data but was permanently unable to send it. This data has now been uploaded to the Albatross tracker app. LGL had flown over 27 000km during the time she had the tracker on.
Šis gan ir forši, ka tie dati ir savākti. Noteikti ļoti interesanti būtu papētīt kur vecāki barojušies. 27 000 km izklausās iespaidīgi!
