How hard would it be to keep a fairy penguin as a pet?
Heaps live close to me so i could probably steal a baby one or an egg or something but i have now experience with raising birds. Would it simply run away from my house and die or it would hang round? My house is pretty out of the way so i wouldn't have to worry about neighbours complaining to the police or whatever and i have two small dam's that it could swim around in, although i'm not sure what they think of fresh water.
So is this idea at all possible or should i just get a cat?

Protip: ALL bird shit smells TERRIBLE. Penguins can put out a fair amount of it.

I don't suggest you do that at all....

But if you do, do not take an egg. It'll just die before hatching and thats always depressing.

SO he'll just steal a born baby from some parent penguins?

This just gives me the mental image of someone hiding behind a rock near a bunch of penguins, and as soon as the parents look away, just running up at full speed, grabbing the baby, then sprinting back to their house.
Do it, OP. And film it.

1. Penguins projectile shit. And they shit a lot.
2. He will need much more fresh fish than you can possibly imagine such a small animal needing.
3.If you pick up an egg it will surely die.
4. If you pick up a young penguin old enough to survive he will act like a wild animal.
5. Penguins bite, even handlers who raise them up from chicks, and they bite very, very hard.
6. As a social animal you will doom him to a life (however short) of boredom and loneliness.
7. Get a cat. They are domestic, easy, and legal.

Yeah. That's pretty illegal.
