Moody Garden Penguin’s the art work
Hi!
Hendrix is a northern rockhopper penguin.
So notice his full yellow head feathers.
And this is Bowie.
Bowie is a southern rockhopper penguin.
So the reason they look different with their yellow head feathers is she's the species with the shorter yellow head feathers.
Bowie is learning.
So you're one of the biggest groups that she's seen.
So eventually she'll be comfortable to do it by herself.
Today I brought a friend.
So they've got to discuss about who's going to do what, I guess.
And the reason we do these encounters with our penguins is for you guys to have great experiences
and really get up close and personal with the penguin and learn something.
But also for the penguins.
So you notice they're both very comfortable.
Hendrix is showing off.
He lives for this.
He's very comfortable with people.
He's showing off his yellow head feathers.
He might flip back behind you.
They're weird. I like that corner.
But penguins can see in color.
So they're seeing the yellow and orange colors especially.
They're really good on the UV spectrum.
They have great sense of hearing.
They communicate to each other all the time.
Follow the different sounds.
So everything that's new and different to them we call enrichment and training.
So it's keeping them mentally and physically healthy.
But we were reviewing.
So another form of enrichment is painting.
So walking across these different textures, seeing the different colors.
Good boy!
So that is Hendrix's static display.
We say that's the happiest noise a northern rock crocodile can make.
And he sees a lot in here.
Because again, it's a very positive area for him.
Hi!
Hendrix, what are you doing?
Are you ready?
So that's his other static display.
Very loud.
Yes, he lives for it.
He was by the door the whole time.
He knows.
That's great.
That's my Bowie.
So Bowie is two years old.
That's part of the reason that she's still learning.
She actually hatched right here December 15, 2015.
It was a wonderful day.
And so I have taken the lead with her to get her trained up for this encounter program.
So we've spent a lot of time together.
You'll notice they're very comfortable with me walking all around.
She doesn't know you guys.
So that would be a little bit different.
Okay, kiddos.
Bowie, you did good.
Do you want to go home?
Good girl.
Come here.
Penny, come here.
Good girl.
So she just came in to say hi and poop on the towel.
Continue with the presentation.
She stayed comfortable the whole time, hung out with Hendricks, so that was really positive.
And now we're going to do some art.
So walking across the different textures, again, is different than anything they see on exhibit every day.
The different colors, we change up.
And they do see colors.
Hey, Hendricks, let's go.
Good boy.
Good job.
You can see they are pretty smart.
Hendricks, do it right.
Good boy.
Okay, Bowie.
Yes.
That's exactly what he's doing.
He's like, I did good.
So good.
Good job.
We call him our wrist.
Payton first.
He does exactly right.
He does it exactly right.
Ready?
Let's add blue.
Not hearing this.
What we do is we'll wrap one off so someone can take one for free.
What?
And then we do sell them for $10 up here or $25 in the gift shop.
And 100% of these profits, not just a percentage like your tickets, goes to penguin conservation.
Good job.
Ready?
Good boy.
Good job.
Good boy.
So while these are drying, right here.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
So looking at Hendricks up close when he's not running around, you can see that his feathers
actually cover all of his body except for his beak and his feet.
And that allows him to stay warm.
His feathers are...
