a man made threat. back in one nine hundred eighty two british pilots in the fog lens discovered a phenomenon as they flew over penguin colonies they said the birds would topple over as they lifted their heads to watch the planes fly by then penguins by the thousands were left on their backs and able to write themselves but is this story true well i think it's something that's why do you know months of topic but i think generally regarded it months anyone that knows anything about it as being a bit of a myth to be honest and i thought it was me that as for the second part of the tale a special person had to be employed to turn the birds right side up after they fell otherwise they would die one german ornithologist he spoke who claimed that this indeed was true dr was let out to look for thing early and go every day to see where they followed by many to get him up again and so sometimes when the hard part is played like they should but you can't but nobody thinks very much further look
