Adellie penguins are monogamous, often return repeatedly to same nest site. Nest in large colonies of up to 200,000 pairs. Build nests of small stones. Considerable energy devoted to stone searching, stone stealing, and rearranging stones in nest. Two eggs laid; parents alternate incubation duties (sometimes with egg on feet) for 32-24 days. Young brooded for 22 days, then join small crèches; fed by parents until they leave colony at 50-60 days.
