Penguin Chick Teddy Bear
Orphaned and sick hoiho chicks don’t just need our medical attention, but emotional support too. Just like with human kids, a soft toy can make all the difference.

Since opening in January 2018, we’ve treated more than 300 penguins — and a fair few chicks, too. Most of these have been the endangered yellow-eyed (hoiho), as well as Fjordland-crested, erect-crested, snares-crested and little blue penguins. With your help, we can maintain our extremely high success rate, returning 84 per cent of these amazing creatures to the wild.
