Marwell zookeepers celebrate hatching of threatened Humboldt penguin chick Zookeepers are celebrating the hatching of a threatened Humboldt penguin chick. The week-old youngster is being cared for by parents Echo, 22, and Lilly, 14, two of the oldest penguins at Marwell Zoo, which has fully reopened to the public following lockdown easing. Senior birds keeper Christopher Kent said: “We don’t yet know the sex of the chick. The penguins have been using nesting materials and guano (seabird droppings), as they would in the wild, to make their nests. “We are very much ‘hands off’ with bird rearing and only intervene where absolutely necessary. Echo and Lilly are both experienced parents and they are doing a fantastic job.
