Angry Birds.

Attempted drowning appears to be a key tactic.
Impressive action series !

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).
Cheers,

Great image Elsa of the Coots in their natural habitat.

I can totally hear mom say "Yes dear, we are the Jesus amongst birds"  ;D ;)

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!
