While visiting the zoo, you notice something strange. You see a cat with a wagging tail. There is a bird that doesn’t fly. You find a bear with a short neck. Finally, a dog meows like a cat!

The zookeeper gives you five clues:

1. The cat, bird and bear are all named after musical instruments.
2. The dog’s name starts with an “M.”
3. The bird’s feathers are gray.
4. The bear’s favorite food is honey.
5. The cat’s favorite toy is a little mouse.
