Any #rails experts know why these Eurasia coots, which are normally very territorial, are fine in this large flock?

Not usually at Utrecht Centraal this late, so stopped to take photos of the Nightjet to Zürich and Basel.

I seem to remember there was a library for parsing urls and query parameters better than the built in urllib, but I can't seem to find it, does anyone know what I'm referring to?

I just keep getting results for how to use urllib
