And the chicken said...?

Earlier today, I was trying to think about what my earliest memory was. One of the candidates was a memory of a trip to the Staten Island Zoo when I was very young (three or four--so this trip would have been in 1977 or 1978). What I remembered in particular was a talking chicken exhibit. I think the chicken had a name (I want to say Rodrigo or something like that, but I'm very, very far from certain about the bird's name). I also remember seeing a speaker (a metal box with slats on a post)--which makes me think that the whole thing was faked. At the very least, I'd be sure that the chicken's vocal talents were played-up greatly.

My dad had no recollection of the chicken, and a Google search found nothing that stuck out. So, I thought I'd ask if anyone out there had a memory of the "talking" chicken.
