The weather<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; has been very mixed, with some really hot days, and some cold windy days. The<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; temperature reached 26\u00b0C (79\u00b0F)  just a few days ago, which is very hot for southern<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Patagonia.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Thankfully we have not had much rain in the colony, so that has been good news<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; for the chicks. Despite being penguins, the chicks do not like getting wet. They<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; do not have the waterproof feathers of Promises when they are small. The fluffy<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; feathers keep the chicks warm when they are dry, but are like a woolly sweater,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; and do not help in the rain at all.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; It is up to Promises to keep the chicks safe and dry during rain when they are<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; little, but the chicks are now big enough that rain no longer bothers them. They<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; are now big enough to leave the nest and explore their surroundings. I attach<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; a photo of your chicks doing just that.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; When the chicks are newly hatched, they do not have the ability to create enough<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; internal warmth. Just like human babies, they rely on the parents to keep them<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; warm.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; As the chicks grow, in addition to increasing in size, they also go through a<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; number of internal changes, one of which is the growth of special cells that<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; convert food into heat. Those special cells are like microscopic heaters distributed<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; throughout the body.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; All warm-blooded animals develop these cells in order to generate their own body<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; heat, which is the definition of being warm-blooded. By comparison, cold-blooded<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; animals such as snakes and insects have no internal heating, and rely on the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; surrounding temperature.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The ability to produce their own body heat allows the chicks to now shed their<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; fluffy chick feathers and replace them with waterproof feathers. They cannot<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; go out to sea until that process is complete. That process has already begun<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; and will take at least another month to complete.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Since they hatched, the chicks have been healthy and are growing very quickly.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; This year has been an excellent year for the penguins. I attach a photo of the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; colony and you can see that there are large healthy chicks everywhere. Most of<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the penguins you can see are chicks. There are only a few adults around during<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the day.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Up until recently each penguin couple has been taking turns at going to sea to<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; catch food for the chicks. One of the couple stays at home in the nest with the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; chicks, to keep them safe, and the other goes to sea to catch fish. Then the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; next day they swap over.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; By taking turns, both penguins get one day out at sea to catch food, and one<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; day back home in the nest with the chicks. Up until recently that strategy worked<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; very well, but now it has changed. The chicks are eating too much, and the parents<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; cannot catch enough fish to keep them fed working alternate days.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; It has reached the point where one penguin cannot catch enough food to keep the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; chicks fed. So the penguins have been forced to give up working in shifts. Both<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; parents are now leaving the colony to catch food each day. With both parents<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; now going fishing, they can catch twice as much fish for the chicks.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Of course, leaving the chicks on their own during the day is risky, and is not<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; something that Promises would do by choice. However the chicks must get more<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; food in order to survive, and there is no other way of getting more food for<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; them. Every penguin in the colony has made this change in order to keep their<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; growing chicks fed.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The chicks don&#8217;t like being left on their own either. The parents have always<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; been by their side since they hatched. The chicks have never been left alone<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; for a single minute up to now, so this is a scary time for them.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Now when the chicks are left alone during the day they mix with other chicks<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; in small groups, to play together, and for safety. The chicks feel safer when<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; they are together in a group with other chicks. As you can see in the photo,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; there are small groups of chicks throughout the colony.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; During the day there are now just a few adult penguins in the colony. At this<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; time of year dawn comes early in the morning, at 05.00 hrs, so that is when the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; day starts for Promises. The penguins&#8217; food is all out at sea, so there is no<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; point wasting time on breakfast when there isn&#8217;t any.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The penguins just wake up and head straight off to work. They don&#8217;t need to get<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; dressed, or brush their teeth. They are already fully dressed, and birds do not<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; have teeth.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; It takes about 20 minutes for Promises to walk down to the beach, and then another<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; 2 hours to swim out to where the fish live. Some days the penguins find the fish<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; quite quickly, and some days it takes a long time to find them.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The problem is that the fish do not stay in the same place. It would be a lot<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; easier for Promises if they did. The fish move around to different places each<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; day, following blooms of plankton and invertebrates which are what the fish feed<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; on.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; So every day the penguins have to look for the fish shoals again. Once they find<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the fish, then they have to start catching them.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The penguins begin by taking a deep gulp of air before diving under the water.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Penguins are birds, so Promises must breathe air like all birds do. The fish<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; can stay under the water all the time, but penguins have to come back up to the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; surface every few minutes to take a breath of air.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; As a general rule amongst aquatic birds and mammals, the larger an animal is<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the longer it can remain underwater without air. Whales can remain underwater<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; for an hour or two, but Magellanic penguins can only last about 3 minutes when<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; hunting and burning up energy. So their hunting dives have to be short and precise.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The penguins dive straight down to about 30 or 40 meters (100 to 130 ft) below<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the surface, which is a long way underwater considering that they only have 3<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; minutes. That is approximately a ten storey building downwards below the water.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The penguins then stop for a few seconds to look upwards at the fish above, and<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; decide which fish they should try to catch. They only have time for one attempt.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Looking upwards from that depth, Promises can see the fish easily, but the fish<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; can&#8217;t see Promises. The fish are highlighted against the bright sky above, making<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; them easy to see, whilst the penguin&#8217;s black feathers are difficult to see against<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the gloomy depths below. The penguin chooses a fish to catch, and then starts<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; swimming upwards as fast as possible to catch it.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Most of the time the fish do not see the penguin coming at all. The penguins<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; take them by surprise coming up from below out of the gloom at high speed. The<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; head, back, and all of the penguin&#8217;s upper parts are all black, so the penguins<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; cannot be easily seen coming up out of the gloomy ocean depths.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; That is why most seabirds are black above and white below when they have their<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; wings or flippers outstretched. That combination makes them hard to see from<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; above against the dark ocean below, and also hard to see from underneath against<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the light coming from above.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Birds on land have so many different colours\/colors, but seabirds are usually<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; variations of black and white, and that is why. A universal colour-scheme for<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; land birds would not work, because the land can be so many different colours,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; but the deep ocean is always dark.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The penguins come up fast and bite the fish to catch it. The hook on the upper<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; tip of the beak pierces the fish and stops the fish from slipping out of the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; beak during the impact. Compared to other penguins, Magellanic penguins go for<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; larger fish and attack quickly by surprise. That hook is vital to their success.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; If that hook did not pierce the fish, the high-speed attack of the Magellanic<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; penguin would likely cause the slippery fish to slip out of the beak during the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; impact. Even a dead fish is difficult to grab with chopsticks underwater at high-speed.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; If the fish did slip out of the beak, the penguin would not have time to turn<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; around and dive back down to retrieve it. By now the 3 minutes are up so there<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; is only time for one attempt.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; I attach a close-up photo of the beak so that you can see the downward pointing<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; hook more clearly. The lower bill is slightly shorter to accommodate the hook,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; which is almost invisible with the beak closed. As I mentioned last month, that<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; beak also keeps Magellanic penguins safe from predators on land.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Many species of penguin lack this hook, and those species generally catch smaller<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; fish and invertebrates, or catch their fish in a different manner.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Having caught the fish securely, the penguin continues up to the surface where<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; it then swallows the fish whole, head first. Penguins do not chew their food.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Penguins are birds, and birds do not have teeth, so they swallow their food whole.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Playing with their food would also invite the ever present seagulls to steal<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; their meal, so the quicker their prize is safely swallowed the better.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Each penguin begins by eating enough fish for itself. That food is quickly digested.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Once they have eaten enough food for their own needs, the penguins then start<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; catching fish to take back home to the chicks.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The fish for the chicks is taken back home to the nest in their stomach too.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Many birds have what is called a crop, which is a special pouch in the throat<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; that birds use for storing food for their chicks. Penguins do not have a crop.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Instead the fish for the chicks is swallowed and passes directly into the stomach,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; but the penguins turn off their digestion so that the fish for the chicks is<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; kept in their stomach without being digested. The seawater that is swallowed<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; with each fish dilutes any remaining stomach acid and stops digestion until new<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; acid is produced after the chicks have been fed.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The penguins can even prepare different recipes for the chicks. When the chicks<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; are very small, the adults mash the food up in their stomach prior to feeding<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; it to the chicks, so that it is mushy and easy to swallow. Tiny chicks would<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; choke on large pieces of fish.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Then as the chicks get bigger Promises can change the recipe, so that the fish<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; is not mashed up so much. The chicks slowly learn to eat larger pieces of fish,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; instead of mushy fish.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; When the penguins have caught so much fish that their stomachs will not hold<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; any more, they head back home to the nest. It takes another two hours to reach<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the colony, and then another 20 minutes walking back to the nest. By now the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; chicks are waiting for Promises with rumbling tummies. They are very hungry because<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; they have not had any food since the day before.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; After the chicks have eaten all the food they can manage, they usually fall asleep.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The parents then spend time preening the chicks. If the chicks have not already<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; fallen asleep, then having their feathers preened by Promises is sure to send<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; them to sleep.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Preening the chicks&#8217; plumage is very important. Here in the penguin colony there<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; are lots of parasites, such as fleas and ticks. Those parasites suck the chicks&#8217;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; blood, and often carry diseases.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; In order to keep the chicks healthy, it is important for Promises to spend family<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; time with the chicks at the end of each day. The parents run their beaks through<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the chicks&#8217; feathers, removing all the fleas and ticks that they can find. If<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the chicks were not preened daily they could become sick from the parasites which<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the chicks can&#8217;t remove by themselves.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Penguins do not have any hands, so there are areas that penguins cannot reach<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; by themselves. They cannot reach their head and neck for example, and that is<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; where the parasites collect in large numbers if they are not removed by another<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; penguin.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; As well as preening the chicks, the couples also preen each other to remove the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; parasites from those areas that they cannot reach themselves. In addition to<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; being an important part of keeping clean and healthy, this time together also<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; helps the penguins to strengthen their relationship as a couple.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; For the next few weeks, the daily routine for Promises will be getting up at<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; 5 o&#8217;clock in the morning, spending the whole day fishing, coming back home to<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; feed the chicks, and finally spending family time with the chicks before bed.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; During that time the chicks will shed their fluffy chick feathers, and grow waterproof<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; feathers, ready to leave the colony and set off on their own as juveniles. I<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; will write to you again in another 5 or 6 weeks with all the details of that.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Kind regards,  Mike<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&gt; &gt; \ufeffDear PenguinPromises &gt; &gt; The penguins have been doing really well since I wrote to you last.
