   I suppose you've all heard of the Oomedoodle Bird. It has either no legs   
   or very short legs. (The experts can't agree.) It can be recognised by   
   the cry it makes when coming in for a landing. "Ooh me doodle! Ooh me   
   doodle!"   
      
   There are other solutions to this problem, but the Oomedoodle Bird isn't   
   smart enough to have thought of them. The obvious one is to land on   
   water rather than on a hard surface. Or they could just choose to stay   
   in the air.   
      
   There's a bird in Scotland like that. They call it the Donald Duck,   
   because it disnae land.
