What to name a bird whose birth falls on the eve of the Royal Wedding? Why, Will or Kate, of course!

This baby Humboldt penguin, born on Easter Sunday at the London Zoo, is enjoying some time in its incubator, which has been decorated with the British flag.

The bird, currently being called Egg, was rejected by its mother before it hatched. The zoo is hand feeding the chick with a syringe until it gets strong enough to feed itself.

In about nine weeks, the penguin's sex will be determined through tests, and after that, Egg will become Kate Middleton or Prince William.
