Several puzzlers confessed they were stumped and made jokes about being distracted by the bird.
“Is it a turtle dressed as a bird?” one person said.
“I’m busy looking at little idiot bird,” another chimed in.
“Found the turtle. ID’d the bird. He had a driver’s license. His name is Birdy McBirdface,” a third added.

A Redditor shared a clue saying “it’s always dead center.”
