Little Miss Penguin Bloom

Mirabelle loves happy pets, whether they be a doggie, a hedgehog, a chicken, a unicorn, or a magpie! Penguin Bloom is a clever little bird who has bridged the gap between life in high places and human dwellings. She was rescued as a baby by Noah Bloom and raised by the whole family in Newport, New South Wales, Australia. She is free as a bird to fly as she pleases, and is always welcome home, where she is known to sneak in, especially on wet nights. She has remarkably bonded with her adoptive family. The little darling has also become an Instagram sensation, with a following of 89K subscribers! Who can resist the cuteness of it all? I certainly can't!
