This is August. Leave a message and I'll get back to you. Unless you're a jackass who decided to track down my personal info instead of using the business number, in which case fuck you.
so there's these things called foraging toys for birds that you hide food and stuff in for them, keeps them active and shit since pet birds don't get out much. usually it's for seed and berries not fish but you can PROBABLY make something that'll work? unfortunately for you penguins are pretty much seafood only though like this is a magical baby penguin and I know the weird bug I got was fighting a sentient pile of sludge for berries so maybe try berries???
okay, yeah. he DID hatch from an egg from right under a berry bush, so berries might be a good idea.
foraging toys for birds. that sounds doable. i've never exactly had a pet before, much less a magic baby penguin, if that wasn't obvious, so - any particular places i should shop?
i COULD just go "amazon, awayyyy" but if i'm gonna be this little guy's surrogate mom or whatever i should probably TRY to do him right.
I mean for a PENGUIN you might be SOL, go to the zoo and ask some questions about penguins if they have some and see what you can make from that? otherwise yeah no amazon's useful or I can ask the aunts if they know
I mean since you'll be curious about penguins which are damn near impossible to get they're gonna assume curious. just wear a penguin something and stick pins on a bag or carry a backpack with books and a notebook or say you're doing research for a novel or something. trust me the weird shit people ask the Sanctuary...
senior year of high school, we get a phone call my aunts would not answer and made ME answer because it was some weirdo asking all sorts of Extremely Weird Questions about birds and mating.
they didn't want me to answer him they just wanted me to be the Man of the House and shut the fucker up because he wasn't listening to them

like not QUITE a penguin but also not NOT a penguin?
but yeah i can go try to ask them... here's hoping i can come across as curious and not like someone out to steal a penguin or illegally harbor one.
which i mean i guess i am doing the latter but he followed me home what was i supposed to do

i hear authors need to look up some WEIRD shit so that's probably something i could get away with.
