These Northern royal albatross know how to flirt. The young males show off their virility by screaming raucously. When they have found a mate, they remain loyal for life and even nest in the same area each season. Each pair only has one chick every two years, and the males arrive at the nesting site first to prepare the nest.

Kia ora! Good day! Hola! Hallo! Ahoy, matey!
We’re greatly concerned that Toroa still hasn’t won Bird of the Year… Salty? Please, we drink salt water for breakfast! This year, the Northern Royal Albatross is making its Bird of the Year debut and taking the nation by storm.
With a three metre wingspan, we’re bringing the B.B.E (Big Bird Energy) to this year’s campaign and capturing the hearts of people across every ocean.
Move over kārearea, it’s time to instate a true Royal on the Bird of the Year throne.
