perches

The second racoon to be caught was found by staff at the top of the zoo's parrot perches on Saturday evening.

Others crushed beer cans and shouted slurs from their perches and hurled epithets about Democrats.

The big cat perches there for a moment, appearing to take in the neighborhood, before gracefully walking along the wall.

Locals schlep their own gear to the jagged lava rock perches that line the coast and cannonball into the turquoise sea.

While the precarious perches help goats avoid being eaten, there is an obvious downside to these sanctuaries: avalanches.
