They live on islands near Australia and
New Zealand and are the
smallest penguin species.
On Philip Island, fairy
penguins put on a parade
each day at sunset.
Hundreds of the fairy
penguins waddle ashore
and parade along the beach.

Animals have different features that
serve different functions in survival.
You can tell what a bird eats by
looking at its beak. Penguins'
mouths are neatly adapted for
grabbing and holding slippery
fish. Their bills have sharp
edges for cutting, and the
insides are lined with barbs,
which help them get a good grip on a fish.
