Penguins are not marsupials, or even mammals. They are members of the bird family, sharing bird characteristics of laying eggs, having feathers (of sorts), and being warm-blooded vertebrates that breathe through lungs.
There is only one type of marsupial bird, and it is not a true marsupial. The Sungrebe, the world's only known "marsupial bird", is so called because almost immediately after the chicks hatch, the male places each of the two chicks in pouches under his wings and leaves the nest. However, because the young are
not fed on mothers' milk, and therefore the bird does not meet the criteria of a "mammal", it is not a true marsupial.
