A care home in Lincolnshire has welcomed two Humboldt penguins for its animal therapy session.

The extra special visitors have been fishing for attention from residents

It's part of Bernadette House's animal therapy sessions

Elizabeth Stephens is the Director and tells us more:

"We have a lot of animals and birds coming into the care home because they are fantastic therapy for our residents - everyone has so much fun.

"Penguins are extra special because they are quite unusual - we had them here five years and by popular demand Pringle is back today with a new friend Widget".
