YouTube Video bNr7INGqwIo ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Update: 13 October 2024: Hi All - Firstly thank you so much for watching our Live Kororā Cam. You may already be aware the eggs are now past the max hatch date. Sadly, it looks like another case of infertile eggs, which is becoming more common for this colony. Unfortunately, this just shines a light on the enormity of the adverse environmental impacts these birds are up against. Extreme weather conditions, heavy sediment, lack of food, man-made pollutants and predators are all challenges that the world's smallest penguin has to contend with every day to survive, let alone successfully bring another generation into the world. These guys will keep on sitting on the eggs for quite some time before they'll eventually abandon them. It is very sad to watch. But please be inspired to keep doing what you can to help these precious manu out - things like predator control, keeping dogs on leads, habitat restoration, and encouraging the city to improve its wastewater and stormwater treatment to minimise pollution that gets into the harbour. These actions can and do make a difference. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Update: 24 September 2024: The first egg arrived on August 29/2024. The second egg arrived on September 01/2024. Incubation length (min) 30 Days PASSED Incubation length (mean) 37 Days PASSED Incubation length (max) 39 Days PASSED Hatch watch period 28th September to 7th October + two days for the second egg hatch. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks for watching this Live Stream from the NIWA Kororā Colony in Wellington, New Zealand. Kororā, little blue penguins, or Little penguins are the world’s smallest penguins, standing at only 35-43 cm and weighing just over 1kg. The penguins hunt at sea, diving for prey generally in waters less than 50 m deep. Little penguins are mainly found within 25 km of the shore during the breeding season but can travel further out to sea when not breeding. Their diet consists of varying proportions of small shoaling fish, squid, and crustacean species.
