   Aaawwww! What a cutie! I love penguins. They are so adorable. I never realized they are this vocal – usually I only get to see them at Sea World behind thick glass. Thanks for sharing this video!

     It’s a “Little Penguin. They are sometimes called “Fairy Penguins” or “Little Blue Penguins.”

   Put this puppy on Youtube and make some money for your zoo, or since it is “home” for the little fellow, how about America’s Funest Home Videos….I must have sent his to 50 people who I know sent it to 100′s + it is on facebook….

     Dave,
     If you’ll notice, that’s were the link is from. I put it up at Youtube a year and a half ago. It’s just now getting around. But that’s okay!

      His foot is doing great! He hasn’t had to have bandages in over a year. Isn’t that wonderful?

    This is the cutest thing ever!!! My kids have watched this over and over! Do all Little penguins do this or is it just a cute quirk of Cookie’s?

    Hello,

    So I do research on humor and laughter and I would love to pick your brain on your experience with these “laughter” like sounds in penguins. Feel free to email me.
