Wrap up of penguin and box sponsorships
All our chicks have now gone from the colonies and only a few are left in rehab but are almost ready to be released. We have been blessed with many sponsorships this year and we don’t have a photo for each of them in the last stages because the chicks have wandered off away from their boxes and could not positively identified – except for Pengee 2 and 3 – here in the photo. We checked on them regularly to see if they looked ok and only caught them again if we were concerned. So here is a run down of all the lucky adults, chicks and boxes that that had caring sponsors this season:
Mandy raised her chick
Morgan raised one chick and one chick was rehabbed
Stewie Junior in Uncle Chang’s box raised two chicks
Pengee 1 raised Pengee 2 and 3 
Poppy and Wotan raised their chick
Bequette’s chick was rehabbed
One chick from Alina and Silas Gihl’s box was raised and one rehabbed
Vivek raised one chick
Odd Simen raised one chick
Rocket fledged naturally
Sandy was rehabbed
The chicks from Staverts Penguin Comfy Retreat were raised
The chicks from Peter and Sarah’s box were raised
The chick from Jacob Thompson’s box was raised
The chicks from Hotel Buenzli were rehabbed
Pepe was fledged naturally and Poppet was rehabbed
Forever Bubbles fledged naturally 
Unfortunately Jackson’s chick died
Stitches raised one chick and one chick was rehabbed
Thank you also to this year’s box sponsors
Kirsten and Charlotte, Cayden and Alicia, Benny’s Angel, the Wild family, Flintford and Addison Pittsley, Penny box 1, 2 and 3.
Maybe next year a penguin family will use your box!
