Fiordland Penguin

While we're here, this is a Fiordland Penguin in rehabilitation. He sure looks relaxed!










Common in New Zealand where they breed and the only visitor penguin to Sydney's coastal waters.

Awww . . raw nerve twitching here . . I am a bit of a penguin fanatic! The 'kids' bought this 'kid' Happy Feet for Mother's Day! Love the yellow stripes and the clarity of the photos. They're so comical . . don't do a poll on this one, can't choose between the pingus and the Loris

i wish more people were like penguins. i don't know exactly why, but they seem to bring out the best in others.

ps. has the party begun? because i have not received my invitation.

And to think of all the good money we pay for air mattresses!

A smart plastic surgeon would devise a way to pump fat in rather than take it out! Long channels of it, from our arm pits to our ankles!

I wanna come back as a bird. If I can't be a raven, I wanna be a penguin. They have all the fun.

I've heard that cute as they "appear" to be, penguins in the zoo, if you dare approach them without a handful of sardines will reprimand you, peck you and do all they can to trip you up and shove you in the bloody water!

Hey I have your Radio National on it is 5:31am chez vous.

How come everywhere I looked it up you were +10hrs and yet in actuality you're +11..?? This confused me a lot. Plus I had been convinced Sydney was an hour forward to Melbourne... did it ever used to be? or is this just my own befuddled mind coming back to confuse me..??

Actually I haven't KJ! But if it becomes available in local video store, I will. You won't miss when Jack's Birthday has arrived KJ ... :)

HAHHAHAAA, billowing wads of fat being pumped into me isn't the best image for first in the morning Catnapping! Yogurt for brekky ... Penguins are cool :)

What would you being doing in a zoo penguin's cage Gledwood? Heehee. We have daylight savings but all I can tell you is it's 8.00am in Sydney AND Melbourne now, otherwise I'll befuddle my head! It's different in Queensland ... sometimes. Clock at the top of my sidebar ... :)
