Emperor Penguins

Zoo Quarters
Bird House Wing Opened
To Celebrate Arrival
From Little America

The Zoo celebrated the. arrival
of three highly priced Emperor
penguins from Little America today
by throwing open q wing Of the
Bird House, which has been closed
to the public for four months be-
cause of a parrot fever quarantine.
The three sleek visitors from the
far south made themselves at home
at once in a refrigerated display
unit equipped with pool and deco
rated with a natural habitat back
ground of Antarctic scenery. They
had weathered the long voyage In
fine shape.
With the Emperors came four
smaller penguins of the gentoo
species, a fulma, or big lsh-eating
sea bird with a hooked beak, and
two Antarctic gulls. The Emperors
were captured at Little America
when a flock marched up to the
camp of the United States Antarctic
expedition to inspect the men and
dogs. The other specimens were
taken while a supply ship lay of
the ice-locked east base awaiting
a favorable opportunity to remove
the men.
Three Are Young Birds.
The three Emperors are young
birds, not yet fully grown, and prob
ably will be better adapted to cap
tivity than Dugan, a huge penguin
returned from Little America a
year ago by Malcolm Davis, head
keeper at the Bird House. Dugan
couldn't get accustomed to the glass
front of his cage and kept trying
for hours on end to walk through
it. He lasted only long enough to
become a favorite of Zoo fans.
Mr.. Davis, who Is recovering from
psittacosis, was on hand this morn
ing to help get the Antarctic birds
settled. He had been in commune
cation by short wave radio with the
expeditions biologists, advising them
on how to feed the birds and care
for them while at sea-
The collection was gathered by
