The better question is why is there a chicken there?

      No, it's a sparrow, not a chicken!

                I think cupboard should be a valid translation for skab.

                Can this be cabinet as in "The President's cabinet"?

                "The Prime Minister of Denmark has appointed a chicken as Minister for Education."

                I like the way you think. The creator of the exercise may be messing with our minds. Would the presidents cabinet be a regering or kabinet though?
