We had, at one stage, about 5000 battery hens on the farm, so I know my chickens. "Cloaca" is the sound made by hens in the Gaelic-speaking parts of the West of Ireland.
I confess, ISTR a post some while back detailing that the monotremata were the only animals that possesed a cloaca. It appears that I was wrong. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 155 TS 75 TS Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
Monotremata employ a single orifice for reproduction and excretion, hence the name. Anything without cloaca would be simple /full/ of shit.
So I now see. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 155 TS 75 TS Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
