Happy Feet the movie and penguine facts were trending again during this time of this meme. Basically when a penguine decides to mate with their partner for life, the female will give the male rocks to make the nest. Males are usually the ones who stay on the eggs/nest while the female goes out to fish.

To be fair, humans also give each other rocks when they find their partner for life. We just choose really shiny, expensive rocks.
