There is n’t a blank space in America that ’s safe fromPokémon Go . It ’s everywhere . Zoos are no exception . That ’s why interpretative Zookeeper Anna Turkett has embraced the furore at the Birmingham Zoo . There , she ’s created Pokémon - theme sign for the animals , and they ’re fantastic .
Her especial posture at the zoo has her both working as a zookeeper and communication to the public in alone ways . That ’s why Turkett , the blogger behindZookeeper problem , made these tongue - in - cheek signs for some of the zoo ’s birds . " I ’m a grownup grind myself and love the game , " she secern Thrillist , " and I do n’t need to admonish people from playing it or make them experience as if they are n’t enjoying the zoo in good order just because they ’re here to playPokémon Go .
" This way they can feel skillful about having an awing time playing the game and teach more about birds . "

" One couple saw the lorikeet sign in front of the showing and stopped playingPokémon Gojust to count at it and told me it was ' so cool ! ' , " she said . " I ’ve seen a lot of kids really enjoy the sign and many adults have link with them as well . I ’ll often see them on their phone playing the game , then notice the preindication and get worked up . "
It ’s not the only prison term thatPokémon Gohas beenused for good , but another object lesson of people make the most of the cultural moment to connect with people and places . She mention at Zookeeper Problems that she has n’t released a template for the signs yet , but ifPokémon Godoesn’t commence to fade from public view , peradventure she can partake in it with other zookeepers so there are some proper labels out there for that sleepingSnorlaxpolar bear that ’s just out of view .
