Most people know that penguins are highly intelligent creatures. They also mate for life, making them possibly one of the cutest breeds of animals out there. Two little blue penguins were caught trying to make a home in what they felt was a perfect place for the couple to settle down.

They chose a nesting place that seemed ideal. It was nestled within Wellington, New Zealand, a harbor area that contained plenty of fish and other aquatic snacks to keep their bellies filled at all times.

However, the specific spot in Wellington they chose to settle in was quite unique. It was a local sushi stand. The bold penguin couple actually made their way across a bustling four-lane road in Wellington with the goal of making this sushi stand their new forever home. While everyone who saw the penguins trying to settle into their new life at the local sushi stand, it wasn’t feasible or safe for them to be living inside an urban area and so close to a four-lane street that was constantly busy with traffic.

The day after the penguins made their brave journey across the busy street, people started to notice that they had settled into the sushi stand and were living there like it was their own home. The sushi stand owner wasn’t sure what to do exactly. He wasn’t truly mad at the penguins, but clearly, he couldn’t have wild animals living inside his stand that served food to customers. It was clearly a health code violation.

It happened that a local police officer saw one of the penguins standing alongside the road next to the sushi stand. The police officer could see how dangerous the situation was for the penguin, so he gently escorted the penguin back to the water. However, the penguins were quite determined. They again made their journey across the busy four-lane street to get to the sushi stand.

Police continued to attempt to take the penguins back to the water again. They ended up giving the penguins the nickname of the “waddling vagrants.” The birds continued to return and local buzz spread about the penguins, drawing massive crowds to dine at the sushi stand. The penguins actually ended up being a booster for business!
