Fred the Clockwork Cuckoo



Fred the Clockwork Cuckoo, or otherwise simply known as Fred, is the clockwork bird that emerges from inside the cuckoo clock in the Ski Lodge. His name first appeared in The Penguin Times issue #87, but he had existed before The Penguin Times announced its name.

He still exists today, appearing every half hour in the analog clock (it's not usually read) at the Ski Lodge (Penguin Standard Time).

He has also now appeared in the Paint by Letters book, Burnt Out Bulbs. Pull the right silver feather under the Cuckoo Clock. Then Fred will jump out with a coin in his mouth. You have to be fast enough to click the coin. Sometimes, it takes a while to get it from him, considering Fred jumps out, then back in, quickly.

Fred will also show up every 30 minutes (no matter how often he's coming out in the Ski Lodge) in the secret missions if your penguin is in the Ski Lodge during that time.

Appearances
