Āwheo means ‘halo’
Āwheo during the 13th of July.

Āwheo hatched on the 22nd of January 2026 and is now 173 days old (14th July), average fledging age is 240 days.

Āwheo was last weighed on the 7th of July at 10.4kg. This is a drop of 800g over the previous 2 weeks as his weight gain will now level out. The average weight for day 173 is 10.2kg and he is doing well with regular feeds from both parents (6 feeds in the last week). He is one of the heaviest chicks out of the 39 chicks. The next weigh day will be the 21st of July.

Tracking the Royalcam parents
WYL’s GPS update: WYL has been in to feed Āwheo three times since last Tuesday, he has mainly been foraging in a northerly direction off the Otago coast.

BOK’s GPS update: BOK has been back to feed Āwheo three times since last Tuesday. She has mainly foraged in a north easterly direction off the Otago and Canterbury coasts.

2025/26 season update

A record 40 chicks hatched this season; however, one 2-day old chick has died leaving 39 chicks to manage. There are 17 females and 22 males. This was determined by testing a small blood sample. It is important to know the sex of each chick in case supplementary feeding is required. Monitoring each chick’s weight is now the big task until fledging in September. Chicks that are thriving will only be weighed every second week so this will bring down the top weight every second week. Current weights are ranging from 6.5 to 12.3kg and the lightest four are receiving regular supplementary feeds. Weights will level out from now on until dropping prior to fledging in September. Some chicks are now receiving their alphanumeric bands as they become more mobile.
