Angry Bird… For real? (Update)

If you have seen my previous post about Angry Bird, you would know that I was not really convinced that the photo and the National Geographic Magazine cover was real.

Just now, a reader by the name of Norico actually provide me with a link to a photo that I believe is the original photo of the bird in the cover. The bird is actually a cardinal, a species of of passerine birds found in North and South America. Someone with a talent on Photoshop, actually work on it to make sure that it does look the famous Angry Bird (I respect this guy).

So, here is the original photo of the bird before being photoshopped.

And just to make it easy for you to compare it, here is a photo of the so-called National Geographic Magazine with the Angry Bird on the cover.
