The banding has had an unfortunate side effect, with an unacceptable number of birds being injured by their bands. To remedy this, it was decided that bands would be removed from most birds on the island. From 2004 to 2008, the island was searched annually for royal albatrosses, including in previously defined study and index count areas. Any bands found were removed and injuries were treated. During these searches, 2882 banded birds were found. Of these, 72 (2.5%) had major injuries, 8.5% had minor injuries and 12% had open bands (=> 3 mm...
