CINCINNATI, Ohio -- As anyone who lives here knows, Clevelanders love their pierogi. The only thing that could make this obsession stronger is when the word’s attached to a cute baby penguin.

The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden welcomed two new baby chicks to their little blue penguin colony. There are more than 30 of these birds at the zoo. The little blue penguin is the smallest penguin species. The zoo asked its social media followers to help name the two chicks.

When the zoo chooses names, it typically goes with a genre for certain species. For little blue penguins, it’s food and drink, the zoo’s associate director said in a press release.

Social media followers voted for Pierogi, but there were a lot of suggestions for names related to champagne, since both chicks were born close to the New Year. The chick born on New Year’s Eve was named Pierogi, but the bird team used the suggestion “Toast" to name the chick born Dec. 28.

Penguin lovers should keep an eye on the Cincinnati Zoo’s social media -- two more eggs seem ready to hatch. The new baby chicks will be introduced to the rest of the colony at about six weeks old.
