Royal Albatross ~ BOK Returns Home With Skycalls! 💕 Cute Closeups Of Their Chick! 🐥 2.9.26

Описание: BOK has returned home just two days after she departed! She does some beautiful skycalls to greet her mate WYL who is brooding their chick. BOK doesn't have a long wait until WYL gets up for the changeover. She goes to greet her chick and brood while WYL does some gardening around the nest. The departing albatross frequently garden & pull up grass around the nest as a sign that they will be back again. And with that parting gift of faith, WYL flies off over the sea and out of sight ♥

BOK gives us some adorable close ups of her chick who is sitting on Mom's paddles! Watch how this wee chick will start to garden & grabs a blade of grass with its bill - just like Dad did! Thank you for watching!

Sharyn Broni stated that: "GPS tracking of BOK & WYL over the last 30 days show BOK has been taking shorter foraging trips closer to home than WYL. As the chick gets bigger longer trips will need to be taken as the parents need to provide enough food for a growing chick and themselves."
