This is birdnought.

I don't go for fancy cars

For diamond rings or moon star

I go for penguins

Oh Lord, I go for penguins.

There's just something about penguins.

Pleasantly plump, they stand upright and teeter like toddlers.

Penguins really are endearing.

Eighteen different penguin species occupied the southern hemisphere.

They range in size from the four-foot-tall emperor penguins of Antarctica

to the petite, one-foot-tall little penguins of Australia and New Zealand.

Though often depicted in basic black and white, most penguins are more colorful.

Seven species have long, jaunty, golden feather tufts above their eyes. The largest, king and emperor penguins,

have necks that glisten gold. The little penguin is blue and white. Penguin

ancestry dates back at least 60 million years.

One species of ancient penguin stood nearly five feet tall, weighed as much as a human being,

and had a long, vicious-looking bill.

So maybe they weren't all cute.

Penguins are so sensitive, penguins are so sensitive, penguins are so sensitive,

Penguins are so sensitive
