When Gavin starts dancing, James isn’t far behind! 🦜🎶

Many guests know James from our snack stand, where he works hard helping visitors throughout the day. One of his favorite parts of being here is visiting the animals, especially Gavin, our African Grey parrot.

A little dancing, a lot of smiles, and a fun moment we wanted to share. 💙

Did you know? Alligators use a behavior called the “death roll” to help tear apart food by spinning their bodies in the water.

Even baby alligators can practice this amazing natural instinct! 💚
