Penguin moves up pecking order with military honor

Nils Olav, a resident king penguin at Edinburgh Zoo, has been given a senior military honor when he was bestowed with the title of 'Brigadier Sir Nils Olav' in a ceremony attended by 50 Norwegian soldiers.

During the ceremony Nils Olav paraded down the Zoo's Penguin Walk, ending his inspection of the Guard with a wail and a quick scratch of the head. After this, a zoo-keeper attached Nils Olav's new medal to his wing.

And this isn't the first honor the bird has been awarded: in 2005 he was made colonel-in-chief for the King of Norway's Guard.

The bird even received a knighthood, approved by King Harald V of Norway, in 2008. From Monday the animal's title was extended to 'Brigadier Sir Nils Olav.'

Barbara Smith, acting chief executive for the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, said: 'We are honored to host His Majesty the King of Norway's Guard as they bestow a prestigious new title upon our king penguin, Sir Nils Olav.

'It is a very proud moment and represents the close collaboration between our two countries, Scotland and Norway.'

Brigadier David Allfrey, producer and chief executive of The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, added: 'This is just a simply fantastic example of the great relations between our two countries, and it couldn't be a more charming tradition. Congratulations, Brigadier Olav!'
