In other news some of the Irish drink... (changed per request)

Dublin Zoo relieved over return of stolen penguin

Kelli the penguin's back home in Dublin Zoo after pranksters snatched the bird and abandoned her on a city sidewalk.

Dublin Zoo condemned Thursday's theft as no joke, because the 10-year-old Humboldt penguin could have been injured during her abduction or crushed by a vehicle.

Zoo officials said police tracked down Kelli using a signal from a microchip planted on the bird. She got the medical all-clear and was returned to her penguin partner, Mick.


Dublin Zoo has been targeted by annoying pranks before. In 2008, its switchboard was overwhelmed by callers asking to speak to Rory Lyon, G. Raffe and Ana Conda.

I'm glad the Penguin was relesed unharmed... I am frightened that flightless birds are being tracked with implanted microchips.

First Flightless birds next thing you know they are tracking Nuns.

1. Good information there. Next time I kidnap a zoo animal, I'm definitely
going to check for the Lo-Jack. :)
