Identify the specific bird.
Todays Question comes to you courtesy Aditi.
To quote Wiki: "Colonel-in-Chief Sir Nils Olav is a King Penguin living in Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland. He is the mascot and Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian King's Guard. Nils was visited by the Norwegian King's Guard on the 15 August 2008 and awarded a knighthood. The honour was approved by the king of Norway, King Harald V. During the ceremony a crowd of several hundred people joined the 130 guardsmen at the zoo to hear a citation from King Harald the Fifth of Norway read out, which described Nils as a penguin "in every way qualified to receive the honour and dignity of knighthood"."

Nils Olav, currently serving as a Colonel in Chief for the Norwegian Army.
Colonel-in-Chief Sir Nils Olav, the king penguin who is the mascot and Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian King's Guard. The second one is his bronze picture.
Once again I quote from Wiki -
"Colonel-in-Chief Sir Nils Olav is a King Penguin living in Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland. He is the mascot and Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian King's Guard."
(This one I got on my own - with slight help from wiki :P)
