Over 1200 pairs of Australasian Gannets nest at Muriwai each summer, typically between August and March. A single blue egg is laid with an incubation time of approximately 44 days. The parents take turns in incubating the egg, similar to that of penguins. At 15 weeks the chicks take off on their maiden flight of 2000 kilometers to Australia and they don't return for 2 to 6 years.
