Little blue penguins (called kororā in New Zealand and fairy penguins in Australia) are adorable no matter what they’re doing. Apparently, they’re even cute while they’re making baby kororā. A trail cam caught two little blue penguins getting busy at a New Zealand wildlife sanctuary, and it’s pretty entertaining to watch.

The Otago Peninsula Eco Restoration Alliance (OPERA) posted the footage of the mating penguins to Instagram with Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” playing in the background. The penguins turn in circles a bunch of times as the male tries to get into position.
“Trail cam sees all,” OPERA wrote in the Instagram post. “It appears kororā breeding season has begun.”
“Frisky!!” jokes a commenter.
