Might be a bit of a trek for you but theres a place called Bourton on the Water (near Stow on the Wold, Cotswalds basically)

Theres a bird sanctury there that has penguins. They've also got all manner of birds there too. Its actually a great place to go as their all sorts of things to do and see (car museam, model railway, model village etc) and the place is nice too.

Well worth a visit anyway. Probably closer Zoos to you though with Penguins.

Go to the most expensive hotel in Brum at 8.30pm on a Saturday night. You'll see loads of penguins.
