Kia ora koutou (hello everyone) From Ranger Sharyn Broni
Thank you all for your patience at this quiet time on the Royalcam.
Elsewhere in the colony it has not been as quiet as watching the grass grow.
Some eggs are old enough to candle to determine whether they are fertile or not.
Check out this video from 2020 to see how candling an egg at a nest looks.

Candling uses a bright light to shine through the egg shell to observe changes in the size of the airspace and embryos within the shell. Candling the eggs allows biologists to assess whether the embryo inside is developing properly as well as estimating how near to hatch the egg is. In this video, a New Zealand Department of Conservation Ranger visits the RoyalCam nest to candle the egg, which should be nearing hatching in the next couple weeks. Afterward, she reported that "Egg is developing as it should."Busy Rangers checking on nests

Tsk, Milo was difficult the first year he was with us. Remember he kept jumping off the 2nd floor patio, jumping on the kitchen cupboards, he wouldn't let anyone pet him. I didn't know about a calming collar until now, I did use calming spray then, lots of patience and tlc.... Norman has always been a cuddle bug.... I don't know why he's acting up... Nothing has changed except the seasons.... Here's a recipe for Roux mix. I've made it for 60 years, mainly by memory. I found this recipe for you..
