Cats and Dogs in the Garden :: Penguins in the Garden
Author: dixie Subject: Penguins in the GardenPosted: 26 Feb '06 6:36 am (GMT 12) Topic Replies: 0 My youngest daughter lives on a bush-covered hillside above Wellington Harbour. Every evening the penguins return from their day`s fishing,cross the bays road, and scramble up through the bush to their nests. Some households are unwilling hosts, as the penguins make their nests under the houses and scuffle and make other noises all night. They put netting around the base so that the penguins can`t get under.
