what i think different penguin species would think about flying:

Emperor penguins

Emperor penguins dream about being able to fly as chicks and each one is very convinced *they* will be the one to first accomplish it. As they grow up, however, they lose interest in flying and become content with the way they are.

Adélie penguins

The concept of flying is actually a laughing matter to the Adélie penguins. Why would you want to fly? Ever seen a fish in the sky? I don't think so. You know what is in the sky? Skuas. And nobody likes those guys.

Chinstrap penguins

Chinstrap penguins get heavily annoyed when the topic of flying is brought up so it's best not to. Maybe chinstraps are bitter because they can't fly. Or, maybe, it's simply because flying birds (like skuas and petrels) are always bad news for the chinstraps.

King penguins

Flying is nice, but King penguins are okay with not being able to fly. Really, theyre over it. Believe them.

Gentoo penguins

Gentoo penguins are strong believers in the idea that penguins can, indeed, fly, they only do it underwater. Don't try to correct them on that, it's very rude.

Rockhopper penguins

Flying is a highly divisive topic amongst all subspecies of rockhopper penguins. Better not bring it up at all to avoid squabbles.

African penguins

African penguins wouldn't mind being able to fly as long as they don't have to trade off their swimming and diving skills. It would be convenient.

Fiordland penguins

Fiordland penguins would much prefer the ability to climb trees very well. But flying is the next best thing.

Yellow-eyed penguins

Yellow-eyed penguins show no particular interest in flying. They do, however, envy the penguins from Antarctica with no land predators.

Little blue penguins

Little blue penguins would love to be able to fly, it would be so much fun to them.

The little penguin (or fairy penguin) of Australia is a brighter blue than its New Zealand counterpart. They don't usually travel far, but one population exists in southern New Zealand and sometimes they are spotted in Chile.

Can you post a list of penguin plushies 🐧? Penguins are my favorite birds ever and I have like 7-8 Penguin plushies ! (Fun fact the very first penguin plush I got was the one of the penguins of Madagascar! However idk which one he is specifically because i haven't watched anything Madagascar related since I was like 6 or 7 LOL)

Penguins are awesome :> Here are just some penguin plushies for you!

The Great ACT-NSW-NZ Trip, 2023-2024 - Otago Peninsula Eco Restoration Alliance

While in Dunedin we spent the better part of a day out towards the tip of the Otago Peninsula, via a tortously convoluted road that followed the shoreline where the heart had been chewed out of the Dunedin Volcano. There were a couple of things out that end of the Peninsula that @purrdence and I wanted to see - the OPERA eco-reserve where I was hoping to see Yellow-eyed Penguins, and the Little Penguin rookery and Royal Albatross rookery that I'll cover seperately.

I wasn't in the OPERA Reserve for long - they can only handle so many visitors at a time so they had to keep everybody moving - but I still saw a good range of stuff. Including species familiar to me from back in Perth :/

The thing about Little Penguins is that photographs and illustrations of them make them look kinda hostile but IRL (and to a lesser extent in videos / gifs) they're the most adorable things to have walked this planet

The eyes are misleading is all I'm saying

Look how cute these little guys are!
