Unwell penguins popping up on beaches :
"Blue penguins are the smallest of the 18 penguin varieties. A total of 13 blue penguins have been rescued in Auckland, all found starving and dehydrated.
'The last time we had these numbers was during the america's cup when there were so many boats out there i think it chased away their food supply,' says penguin rescuer Annwynne Standish."
Like the poor whale in the Thames which died suddenly, the penguins on the beaches in NZ are nice for people to see, and exciting for people to see, but are a sign that all is not well in with the creatures and nature. The food appears to be scarce and the parents are abandoning the penguins. Luckily, the people rescuing the penguins have a sound plan for trying to get the poor little wee things back into condition. They don't appear to have found the exact cause yet for the penguins turning up at suburban beaches.
