Happy Feet seems to be on the mend, despite still being in a critical condition.
The Emperor Penguin was taken to Wellington Zoo on Friday after eating sand at Peka Peka Beach on the Kapiti Coast.
Its stomach was flushed out yesterday and it was put on a drip.
Wellington Zoo spokeswoman Kate Baker says the penguin's looking bright this morning.
However, she says it's still very much touch and go.
Kate Baker says Happy Feet won't undergo any more procedures today but a camera will be put into its stomach tomorrow to see what's going on.
