Like isn't strong enough for those penguin posts, I need a luuuuuuuuuuuuuurve button for them!

Sounds absolutely wonderful WaS!
I want to meet penguins now, I had no idea they were so friendly, I assumed they'd be quite formal considering they wear tuxedos all the time! :rotfl:

It was wonderful, JM! I have just noticed that I have several tiny nicks in my fingers from baby penguin beaks! They are welcome to nibble me anytime!
Hahahaha! they are incredibly friendly Birdie! They are also extremely curious, I was thoroughly examined!Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened - Anatole France

Penguins! (And a reveal of my pink spotted wellies and broken fingernails!)

What another great experience, WaS! I loved reading your posts.:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0

Can't see any broken fingernails, can just see a pair of supportive hands carefully holding a penguin - and in the third picture, a couple of lovebirds!
I'm doubly jealous, I'd love to cuddle a little penguin and I wish I could wear wellies like that, (they wouldn't fit my foot shape.)
More pics please!Deal with things as they are, not as they should be.0 -
My wellies are a small miracle! Out of all the shoes I have tried I can actually walk in them without any pain or blisters.
The penguins in the third picture are a couple, they are very affectionate to their OH's and never stray far away from them. That pair followed me for the whole hour and kept standing on my feet and pecking me! They weren't interested in food, they just wanted to be spoken to and have their heads stroked!
When you pick up penguins you put one hand under their bottom and one on their chest, that way they don't struggle. The hand on the chest is especially important so that they can lean their weight against it. The one I am holding is only 3 months old. As you can see I have one jumper sleeve longer than other due to John the penguin tugging on it!
I do hope my excitement comes over in my posts, I am still so thrilled today!Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened - Anatole France

Cuddling another little friend!
