In his book Land of Two Halves, Joe Bennett said, Oamaru is Timaru with penguins.
Well, not any more. Timaru has its own penguins and they are at the port end of Caroline Bay. Timaru s penguins even have a website and from it I learned all the collective terms that can be used for penguins. I can t vouch for their accuracy but I m willing to take the list at face value (please don t write in).
The most common collective is colony but apparently you can also use parade, crèche, huddle, parcel, rookery, muster, formality, icing, march, pride, shiver, waddle (on land only) and raft (in water only).
