“I, for one, welcome our 5G-enabled penguin overlords”
The hard bit’s lassoing the buggers.
all the anti-vax penguins heading straight to the water
I love this story.
Hope they do my local brush turkeys too. Love those little buggers.
The tariff just got 10 percent higher
Can’t wait for the anti Vax penguins to blame Dan Andrews for this.
Don’t forget the colony at the end of St Kilda pier.
Australia is already rolling out vaccines as quickly as they can. I’d hope the little penguins would be high on the list.
5g cookers will definitely think birds are spying on them now you’ve given them a vaccine.
One of my life dreams is to go see these little fellows and I’m hoping to in the next month or two – I’m hoping they’ll be safe, happy, healthy and vaxxed. I volunteer to help catch them!! 👀👀
I swear I saw a thing on the abc a few years ago about knitting them jumpers.
We should be vaccinating any wild bird we can!
I want you all to stop and imagine how cute the little group parade will be when they get released.
How could Dan Andrews do this
The cookers are going crazy on the Channel 10 news story about this on Facebook. ISTG this timeline is the absolute dumbest possible one.
Great news
