About These Birds
Fiordland Penguin
Fiordland Penguin, 60–67 cm, breeds in the temperate rainforest of Fiordland and Stewart Island, New Zealand — highly unusual habitat for a penguin. Dark upperparts, whitish cheek streaks (3–6). Secretive breeder in coastal caves and tree roots. Piscivore. Vulnerable; threatened by introduced predators.
Royal Penguin
Royal Penguin, 65–76 cm, breeds exclusively on Macquarie Island in the Southern Ocean. Like Macaroni Penguin but with a white (not black) face — the most obvious distinction. Crested penguin; krill and fish feeder. Vulnerable; breeds in one of the world's largest seabird colonies (~800,000 pairs).
