Gilbert, a male Humboldt penguin, was born at Weymouth SEA LIFE Centre in July 2009. He arrived at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary with his brother Piran on 30th March 2010. Gilbert has the nickname of "Greedy Gilbert" as he eats the most fish out of all the penguins. Gilbert also likes to interact with the visitors and staff, and in the mornings will follow the sponge over the glass when we clean the windows. Gilbert´s right wing band colour is green/white.
