It seems that quite a few zoos keep Tawny Frogmouths. When these birds breed, this can lead to highly cringeworthy announcements, for example from Adelaide Zoo : “We have egg-citing news!” They just sit and pretend not to be there to avoid interaction.” Just please do not return to this website afterward.

Animal Person

OCTOBER 7, 2011

As far as atheism goes, I'd rather my child have a healthy skepticism that is fact driven and science driven. Animals existed for my entertainment in zoos, water parks and at circuses.
