Guess what it is?

Happy New Year 2016!
The Google Doodle egg, surrounded by five jocular-looking party birds in joyful mode, like expectant moms and dads – which set up new year’s eve celebrations and curiosity too – has hatched – at least in Google Australia!
And hey! What did you expect to hatch from a green egg surrounded by birds? It’s a bird!
The long-necked green-colored bird, who looks a bit like a baby alligator too with a palm-embossed head sitting up quaintly on its haunches, with a long snout for a nose, and seems to have been born with a party hat on, is surely an inquisitive creature, as he sways his head from side to side, to check out the new environs of the world he’s born into.
The five ecstatic birds, who are not at all angry like the ‘angry birds’ from the game, and perched on a wire-like branch, are in full festive mode as they throw confetti and jump up and down to celebrate the entry of their new companion.
It’s a terrific Google doodle to welcome the new year 2016 in.
Google, in its US search engine, has still not revealed the full mystery. It’s likely it may have some new hatchlings: “Check back tomorrow to see what will hatch in the new year,” the search engine’s message says.
The world needs to restore some lost innocence for adults and children alike; celebrate new wonders like a birth, exult in the resultant joy it brings, instead of being crushed by terrorism and its terrible aftermath.
A doodle that makes children and adults laugh alike is a welcome one, symbolic of the world carrying on resurgent, despite the attempts by misguided elements to crush its spirit.
Happy New Year to all our readers!

I knew that egg was going to hatch at midnight. I watched it all day yesterday and said the google doodle egg is going to hatch at midnight. so cool A stack of my favorite animal turtles then a duck and a green dinosaur looking bird. I wonder how many thought the egg would hatch? It’s awesome tell the artist it is one of their best yet. Ya know we love you google! Happy New Years Day!! guys!! <3 :)
so Google (Gilgul?) is having the birds celebrate the birth of a reptile among them;
how darkly quaint and ghoulish, or, should I say, ghouglish;
‘The Reptile has been born among us!’
Why would the birds celebrate the birth of a predator in their midst?
It looks like a stack of turtles.
It’s an alligator, five turtles, or a duck, changing when you refresh it :p
