In Episode 2 starts with Michaela still desperately trying to learn the ropes as a volunteer at SANCCOB in Cape Town. None of the tasks are easy as these seemingly cute penguins are really feisty and she ends up covered in bites and scratches! Then the moment everyone was waiting for arrives; the arrival of the first chicks in the chick bolstering project! It’s a huge responsibility dealing with these tiny penguins that have been rescued from the wild, and Michaela is in the middle of a delicate balance between life and death, working as hard as she can to keep the young chicks alive. She also meets other interesting sea bird characters, including badly behaved cormorants and elegant albatrosses. There’s no time to lose as more chicks are bound to come through the doors at any moment…
The African penguin is fighting for survival and presenter Michaela Strachan is on a mission to help them.
After 10 years living in her adopted home of Cape Town, South Africa, the peninsula’s penguins have found a special place in Michaela’s heart, which is why she is taking action and joining one of Africa's biggest bird rescues. As the newest recruit to the SANCCOB chick bolstering team, Michaela will be finding out why the penguin numbers have crashed so dramatically and what can be done to save them.
