Israel: New National Bird Good for a Laugh
Written byMaya Norton
Embarrassed about your country's national bird? Don't be. Israel has one far more comical. Comedy Central's hit television show “The Colbert Report” cites Israel's choice of the long-billed hoopoe as evidence that, “Countries don't make passes at birds that wear glasses.”
Isrealli, who has the video clip, says:
Last night, Stephen Colbert reported on some of the more important developments going on in Israel. For starters, Israel has a new national bird.

How’s the feathered friend’s voice – rusty? Singing which song?
That’s a funny question. I really don’t know and I’m not sure exactly how to find out.
I’m guessing his singing sounds a lot like “HaTikvah,” Israel’s national anthem. :)
