Pesto made a splash online for his impressive size when he was only a few months old.

Now, Pesto has shed his fluffy brown feathers and boasts a sleek new look, with orange, black, and white coloring.
The SEA LIFE Melbourne team marked the occasion with a fish-filled, penguin-friendly jelly cake and plenty of birthday enrichment for the whole colony, including bubbles, which they say are a firm favourite for the birthday boy.
“With his playful personality and newfound love for swimming, Pesto is continuing to steal hearts,” Claire Burrell, general manager at SEA LIFE Melbourne, said. “SEA LIFE Melbourne is excited to celebrate this milestone with fun activities organised over the weekend, inspiring guests to learn more about the aquarium’s amazing residents and the important conservation efforts that have been taking place over the past 25 years.
