LIVE: Watch an albatross couple share egg duty in New Zealand

Credit: New Zealand Department of Conservation and Cornell Lab of Ornithology Watch live as a pair of royal albatrosses shares egg duty in New Zealand. The couple are stars of Royal Cam, a 24-hour livestream of the birds’ breeding season at Taiaroa Head — a rugged headland on New Zealand’s South Island. The stream, now in its 10th season, was established to raise awareness of the vulnerable species, numbers of which have grown slowly over decades of painstaking conservation measures. Millions have watched the stream since it began in 2016, but its popularity exploded during the coronavirus pandemic. #albatross #eggcam #royalcam #newzealand #live
