  • Michaela Strachan is working to graduate as a volunteer at the South African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB); Michaela needs to master difficult skills including feeding both the powerful adult penguins and helpless chicks.
  • Michaela Strachan is still desperately trying to learn the ropes as a volunteer at SANCCOB in Cape Town; none of the tasks are easy, as the seemingly cute penguins are feisty and Michaela ends up covered in bites and scratches.
  • New arrivals are flooding into SANCCOB for the chick bolstering project; the latest batch has come from Dyer Island and surrounding colonies, where their parents have abandoned them.
  • Michaela meets Betty's Bay penguin colony manager Cuan to collect abandoned chicks, and she feels a certain bond with two penguins, whom she names Stony and Betty.
