But you’ll be giving @VoteToroa your second pick, right?! To paraphrase @dog_rates, “they’re all good birds”

We engage with RFMOs who oversee #highseas #tuna #fisheries to ensure #seabird #bycatch mitigation measures are implemented and enforced. While use and compliance has increased over the years, there is still much work left to do to keep #albatrosses off the hook! 📸: Steph Prince

#RoyalCam chick is 202 days old.
She weighed 8.5 kg – a good weight which means no supp. feeding required.
She also had her leg band checked, a pre-flight recheck to ensure it is secure.
Mum in, 'bling' done & weight OK. Check - all good for QT.

While we were hoping #VoteToroa would have enjoyed a larger voting turnout compared to last year, we're ecstatic that another critically endangered manu got some time in the spotlight.
