@enzo they ARE nincompoops, aren't they... don't recall where i was recently, but it was some sort of zoo or sanctuary, and there were a bunch of flamingos together... an employee was there and was saying that usually they'd be hanging out in the water, but they were all bunched up on the edge because he had put something new and unfamiliar in the water (a floating log or toy or something, don't remember) and they were all suspicious of it and wouldn't go in. 🙄 😆
