As the clock struck midnight, a cuckoo flew out to announce the world its 2021. Continuing its ticking clock-themed doodle from New Year’s Eve, the January 1 animated Google doodle struck at midnight on its homepage, with the bird announcing the arrival of 2021. At midnight, the festivities began as the cuckoo was seen coming out of the clock house donning a party hat and blowing paper whistles. “The time has come to welcome the new, the clock strikes midnight and out comes the cuckoo!” the tech company wrote on its blog. “’All the best for the new year,’ the cuckoo bird chirps for all to hear,” it added in its New Year greetings for its users.
