As you were...

Greatest headline ever. Nice one OP.

BBC sometimes does a good line in funny headlines, I send them to DH when I spot them.

That was definitely Rico!

Brilliant! The penguin's expression is like what part of 'flightless bird' don't you understand?

Was he protesting tariffs?

"Fly? FLY? No chance, chum."

Was this part of a daring heist by Feather McGraw?

I am surprised to learn that the transportation of unsecured penguins on board a helicopter is not in accordance with the Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR) 2011.

Every day's a school day on Mumsnet.

I actually cannot believe that they even got the line ‘picked up the penguin’ into the story. Brilliant.
