We have big news. The National Zoo is rooting for the Washington Capitals in Game Five and WANTS A PIECE OF PITTSBURGH’S NATIONAL AVIARY.
An hour before puck drop, the National Zoo’s official Twitter account got in a heated Twitter beef with the National Aviary about which species of bird is better.
Bird nerds, grab some popcorn because this is some unreal chriping.
Watch your tail feather @NationalZoo because our penguins at the National Aviary are ready for a win! We’re here to cheer the Pittsburgh @penguins on to victory over the @Capitals! #capspens #letsgopens #lovePGH pic.twitter.com/vhLzYQ0BlU

.@National_Aviary and 🐧, the only thing you’ll beat is your wings. Eagle beaks are sharp so they can tear things apart just the like the @Capitals will tonight! #CapsPens #ALLCAPS #Caps 🦅💪 pic.twitter.com/VsKWaYwC6U
