They’re called “Fairy Penguins” when here, “Blue Penguin” is their NZ name.

So in the Australian “Secrets of the Zoo” the handlers call them “Little” Penguins. I’ve heard all three names used interchangeably, from the US, haven’t zero’d in on the regionality of the names, so where you at? Also the zoo show is in Sydney.

“Little Penguin” is their more scientific name, so that’s why they would be using it the people living in Sydney would still call it a fairy penguin.
I’m from Melbourne, where the picture is from.
