It's molting season on Penguin Beach! Every year, our Magellanic penguins replace their old feathers with new ones. During this time, the birds may look scruffy and will not go swimming, but in about 30 days, they will have a fresh set of feathers. 🪶🐧

Reminder to check up on your loved ones, especially when everything is happening all the time. Make sure they know they're loved and don't leave things unsaid. 💙
