This chick is almost 2 months old and is from the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut

I just found a photo on my phone showing my stuffed penguin Betty a lot of years ago and I was so surprised, I don‘t remember her having color anymore. First one is her now. Looks like I just cuddled her too much. 😌 Do you have any penguin fellows going with you through life?

Hello penguin gang! As we can see in the video, the chicks are together on the 5th nest back, and the parents don’t seem to mind! I saw the other smaller chick yesterday on one of the nests farthest back. I also saw that the nest 2nd back, the one that has a penguin laying down in this video, the parents were gone from it a couple times yesterday. It looked like there was an egg there at some point, but I don’t think there will be a chick from the 2nd (or 3rd) nest.

Finally, it looks like rain is on the forecast today in the E’burgh! Stay warm everybody!

Hello penguin gang! Today in the Edinburgh Zoo gentoo penguin colony, it looks like the camera has been adjusted. The blue gazebo on the left is the new star of the show: there are TWO chicks! I believe we have been told that the dad of this nest is named Kevin, but I’m not sure the mother’s name. I caught movement of a chick under the yellow gazebo on the left as well. I’m not sure what we have under the right nests, but I saw an egg in the nest in the middle in between the two yellow gazebos as well!

Video taken 16 of December, 2025; before the nesting season.

I saw the penguins run around like this a few times. I’m not sure if it was spurred on by weather or just birds being birds!

Hello penguin gang! The babby is still small, and I have not noticed any other chicks that are visible on the gentoo penguin camera. I did see a zookeeper take the baby and return it. And I saw a post from the zoo that there is a parent/nest with two chicks!!

Hello penguin gang! This penguin pair has been getting ready for the new season with nesting material. It may still be a few weeks before we see new eggs but they are preparing!

This is from last year, I think it is the second clutch of this nest in a season where they raised a total of 6 kids!
