Penguins

The penguins we saw at the Antarctic Centre were all refugees. One had a new beak made out of fibre glass, one was blind, one had a bad wing, one was caught in an old fishing net and had to have its leg amputated. One was called Elvis and it was a girl. When they feed the penguins they record how much each one has eaten and they have 2 (or 3) meals a day.

It is good that they are looking after the broken penguins.

Did you read about my penguin encounter that I had in Auckland in the holidays?

I think they had too many penguins there. None of the Auckland penguins were refugees!

It must have been fun to see the penguins, I feel sorry for them to have injuries.
I hope you had a nice time seeing them.
