00:00Of course we know that bird flu is here. We know we can't stop it, but we really want to
00:05put the
00:05penguin colony in the best possible place to ensure that they are protected as much as possible
00:11from the strain of bird flu that is, we know, impacting so many species right across the country.
00:17We've started on some of the quieter penguin pathways. We've now moved to the western end of
00:22the penguin array where the larger numbers are and it's working really well. It starts with
00:27catching the rafts that come up. We then corral them, transfer them into holding pens,
00:32and once we're satisfied that we've caught all the penguins we can for that night, we then start
00:36the processing. And that's the process of moving them from the holding pens to a handler who then
00:42weighs and measures the penguin. We then microchip it, vaccinate it, and then release it on its way back
00:47time goes forward.
