Ten-year-old king penguin 'Maggie', of Birdland Park and Gardens, Gloucestershire, is now 'Magnus' after making a flirty first move towards another penguin.

After ten years of living as ‘Maggie’, the penguin has been confirmed to be male A penguin living in a Gloucester shire park has been renamed after it was found she was actually male. Ten-year-old king penguin ‘Maggie’, of Birdland Park and Gardens, Gloucester shire, has been renamed after making a flirty first move towards another penguin. Male penguins often make the first move, so when zookeepers saw ‘Maggie’ move towards fellow penguin Frank, they were surprised.

It’s unlikely ‘Maggie’ even realised her name was female The adult male, nicknamed Gus, was found on November 1 on a popular beach in the town of Denmark, south-west Australia, roughly 2,200 miles north of the icy waters off the Antarctic coast where he hails from. The state of Western Australia’s Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions said the penguin species has never been reported in Australia before.
