The
annual moult is over and the Little Penguins are spending winter
chasing lots of fish to make sure they’re fighting fit come the breeding
season. Some fishing trip for individual penguins at this time of year
can last for three to four weeks.
As
Spring approaches and the weather warms up, be sure to look for
penguins renovating their burrows with grass and leaves. Male penguins
are typically the renovators, while the females are attracted to a cosy
love nest when the time comes.
Penguin
breeding season is usually from August to October, but times can vary
year to year depending on the mood of the penguins and environmental
conditions.

penguin pete hits the ice

Penguin
Pete got a taste of life on the ice in July when he visited the
Icehouse at Melbourne’s Docklands. Little Penguins don’t normally have
to deal with snow and ice, but Pete thought he best check out what his
cousins down south have to contend with. We think Pete’s now happy to
spend winter in Australia instead of Antarctica!
