Antipodean albatross spend most of their lives at sea, only coming on land to raise young every two years. They have an elaborate courtship that involves a characteristic singing and dancing display, and form enduring pairs that mostly last until one of them dies.
The Antipodean albatross is the party leader species representing all of the amazing albatrosses in Aotearoa.

Soaring above the waters of the Pacific Ocean and Aotearoa, the toroa represents perpetuity and strength. With a wingspan measured in metres, the Antipodean albatross shows us the beauty of New Zealand’s native birds. These magnificent creatures, known for their impressive long-distance journeys criss-crossing the Pacific, face numerous threats from climate change and fishing practices. By voting for the toroa in Bird of the Year, you are promoting efforts to protect their habitat, and ensure these majestic albatross continue to grace our skies for generations to come.
