The Name the Chick competition has now closed and we are sorting the 472 names submitted. All the best to those of you who have entered. We will narrow the list to 10 for the Pukekura co-management team to decide on. There will be 3 spot prizes awarded also.
There are some great names in the list and a lot of awesome inspiration. We hope that people are also inspired to continue to reduce plastic use as Plastic Free July nears its end.
South Plateau chicks weight is 8.5kg this morning. From now on her weight may trend down as she prepares to fledge. All the chicks loose weight prior to fledging as this helps them to fly. The heaviest chick, a male, was 11.2kg.
South Plateau chick is 188 days old today and has been banded with a uniquely numbered stainless steel band R-67201 and with an orange band numbered 7.
Whereas a name gives us something to relate to the unique stainless steel band ensure that our records regarding her life at Taiaroa Head and any sightings of her band out at sea are not mistaken for another albatross.
Tā vajadzētu būt,ka kādas 50 dienas palikušas.Šā gada meitene nav tik kustīga kā pagājušā gada,tāpēc prieks redzēt,ka tomēr sākusi lēkāt.
