Thanks, Lara.

I didn't know that the Albatrosses in NZ are so famous. I have visited them a few times at a place just out of Dunedin. The NZ Department of Conservation has gotten excited.

The chick has been named Tiaki. It is a female and the name means to protect or conserve in Maori.

So far this season there have been 17 female and 15 male chicks hatched. They are some of our taonga (Maori for treasure).
