Angry Birds.

It looks a lot like a Dutch Coot whom misplaced his marbles ;) :P

The little chicks are adorable up close btw with their brightly coloured feathers and huge feet (they walk on water plants).

I did say Red Knobbed Coot, but somehow it didn't get posted, curious.

European coot have extraordinary feet! So here is a photo of a shy Amsterdam Coot and his tootsies!
