Good point about the crocs vs. gators. I had a hunch that was the case but was too lazy to check.

Just like kids. If they can't stop misbehaving, you separate them. The next step is "if you 5 don't stop swearing, I'm going to turn this zoo around and go back home."raison de arizona wrote: ↑Tue Nov 16, 2021 6:24 pmhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/parrots-se ... at-guests/Five parrots separated at British zoo after encouraging each other to curse profusely at guests
