In November 2018, for an unknown reason, a lone little blue penguin arrived at Moncks Bay, Christchurch, New Zealand, without his mom. Thankfully, the tiny bird received help from a kind passersby, who laid down an adorable cardboard sign on the beach to protect him from harm.
On Nov. 29, 2018, at around 1.30 p.m., Jeff Mein Smith was cycling along Moncks Bay when he noticed a crowd convening around a baby blue penguin on the slipway.
