Buddy is a very cool penguin I got to know when I was working at the Cincinnati Zoo as a Guest Keeper. Buddy has a great sense of humor:

Steve and I had some special guests for lunch. After lunch they had the opportunity to feed lunch to the penguins. It was a fun day:

Cookie and his companion are taking dip in their pool on the loading dock of the bird house. Because of Cookie’s bumble foot, he can’t be in water constantly, but he does need baths, so this is how the bird house handles it:

Due to a request, I am re-running this post. Enjoy! I completed my big project for today; cleaning the backside of the Little Penguin Enclosure. I could write about it, but the video explains it better. Let’s just say I’m really tired and I’ve taken a couple of aspirin for the back pain.

I got to get a penguin to bring to the Bird House as a companion for Cookie. Here is how it went:

I went to visit the Polar Exhibit this morning and got some pretty good penguin footage. I think they were hungry because they were coming right up to me. These are friendly and tame penguins, but they do have their own agenda. Buddy and Maggie are the two Magellanic Penguins that were singing to me, [...]

A little appropriate background music from one of my favorite Groups: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJF87m4_k88&feature=related Everyone loves Kermit the Tawny Frog Mouth Owl. But there are other Residents here that have their own claim to fame in the “Amazing Face” department. This little guy here is at the Education Department and he was a little sleepy, [...]
