This was a beautiful thing to watch for me, for the first time! At the end, I understood that the lady ranger was helping mama albatross with her egg, making sure the embryo was developing properly, so the mama bird wouldn't have to sit there for nothing. Bravo lady ranger, you were very gentle! Bravo New Zealand Dept. of Conservation for your great efforts!

[@garymccartney8784]

I raised ducklings & goslings years ago using an older styled incubator. Candling refers to holding an egg up to a light source to see signs of embryo growth. In this case she needs to use the cape to keep outdoor light out

[@liznm-natur-channel]

she has candled it under the blanket. There are always several options. I also know how you do it. I grew up on a farm.

[@vgnow6558]

Ya it actually seemed like she was saying byebye 😊

[@lockandloadlikehell]

I don't think that was a greeting

[@saartsupat502]

She is a well-mannered bird.

[@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking]

@@lockandloadlikehell I think beak-clacking may be the start of the greeting ritual. When the albatross land and approach each other, beak clacking seems to come first, then a sort of head bowing, craning the head back, and then long, mournful-sounding calls. This seems to be a greeting. (Would love it if an expert could explain.) The giant shoebill bird bows to humans, then gets insulted if humans don't bow back. Should a human do that, the shoebill bows again, and adores the human. Bird rituals and weird and wonderful. :)

[@orpheus9037]

I can only wonder what the bird is thinking while watching this rather strange ritual take place. But I have to admit - it's a pretty charming interaction, all seemingly based on gentleness and trust.

[@aman2welly]

What a beautiful bird and so patient with the lady

[@Cheezitnator]

Because albatross nest on desolate oceanic islands with no predators they have no fear of human beings. On some of their natal islands overrun with introduced rodents they often sit calmly incubating their eggs while they are being eaten alive.

these birds are in their twenties and return every year to the same breeding spot. (they also have the same partner for life until one dies). So this could be their 10th egg that gets checked by the scientists, they are used to these weird creatures that visit them a few times during nesting season. If only we could talk to them, mankind's eternal wish: to communicate with the rest of the animal kingdom....

They are the same with actual predators unfortunately, that's why they lose so many and the species is endangered.

[@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking]

@@johno4521 Aye. Sadly, that's how most albatross are killed. (Other than plastic ingestion.) Albatross ancestors chose remote islands as nesting sites - _because they had no predators._ Once humans arrived in ships, rats arrived. Rats will eat a chick alive, while a bewildered parent watches. They have no idea what to do. (This is also how we actually lost the Dodo, according to new research. Rat-gnawed bones, not human cutmarks on most remains.)

[@julianbristow4793]

Such a lovely , beautiful albatross !!!!! ❤❤❤

[@RaptureMusicOfficial]

Many birds are able to recognize humans and differentiate between many different humans. I'm around geese regularly and they recognize me as soon as I approach them (no matter if I come up with bicycle or by foot, in summer with T-Shirt or in winter in jacket and with hat). They can read faces, it's amazing! Geese also like some persons, others not so much or at all. I'm always friendly to them so they're friendly to me. It's absolutely great to spend time with them. Birds were a longtime considered to be stupid, but they're not at all, on the contrary. Geese are very social, intelligent and highly developed. I often have the feeling they're a community of little people. I love them to bits
