Chinese chicken thinks he's a penguin

Meet Mumble - the confused Chinese chicken who thinks he's a penguin.

Instead of scratching in the ground and roosting on a perch at night, Mumble walks around waddling from side to side.

Farmer Lu Xi got the bird as a chick, reports CEN. "He only has little wings, just like a penguin, which he sticks out when he walks. I guess that's why he never flies," he said.

Local media at Jiangsu nicknamed the chicken Mumble after the character in the film Happy Feet, about a penguin who can't sing so dances instead.

Lu added: "I had not seen the film but I like the name, although my bird can't dance - and I don't think he can swim either.

"But he should be happy - my family all like him and so we decided to keep him instead of putting him in the pot."

Poor chicken, expressing his individuality and they say he looks like a penguin, and name him after a character in a shitty film. :o

no no, he adopted the quirky gait because he knew it would endear the farmer to him and save him from the stew pot !

Don't think so, but he ain't sure.
