Did you know that Humboldt penguins shed their feathers? 🐧
Humboldt penguins shed all their feathers once a year, and with us this happens at this time between August and September. The old feathers stand out from the body and they will look quite "fluffy", and little by little they will fall off.
During this time, the penguins won't be in the water as much and their appetite will drop, but luckily it only lasts for a few weeks and they will quickly get their new plumage in place 😃🐧
