Well, Margaret, that is a good thought.  Around here though, the populace is
so used to our wild creations that if a croc were presented it would
certainly be cut open to remove the child, so unless I built something with
a "cutting plan" through the wire, it may cause damage to the child by
bending wire.  Perhaps I can get hold of an olive barrel..hmm, I shall have
to persue this..
Ol..ah, yes, me..Olwen
