Penguins ignore police advice, raid sushi stall twice in one day
Wellington,New Zealand (AFP): A pair of New Zealand penguins that broke into a sushi stall at Wellington’s busiest railway station have been returned to their natural habitat.
Police said they initially received a report about a little blue penguin in the city centre over the weekend and released the animal back into the harbour.

But it returned on Tuesday with an accomplice and officers said the “waddling vagrants” started building a nest beneath a sushi stall at Wellington Railway Station, in the heart of the city.
After luring them out with salmon, the police again sent the seabirds back to the water, while wildlife officers sealed up the sushi stall’s nooks and crannies to prevent any re-offending.
Department of Conservation manager Jack Mace said the birds were about to enter their breeding season and were searching for a safe spot “to set up shop to lay eggs later on.”
