Its all goodIts a movie reference from the film "Taxi driver" like the shrimp references before.
Don't take it so personally @CheeseChameleon2007 as it was for both you and @lowland anoa because of the similarity of your conversation to that iconic scene.... and remember it is all tongue in cheek and good natured joking around so stop taking everything so seriously.

I saw one on a sign at the Toledo zoo
Then why are you asking if they are kept in American zoos?
I spat out my dinner, good one but you better pay the dry cleaners’ bill

@CheeseChameleon2007 it’s a classical reference, so don’t take it so seriously
There are two holders of frigatebirds in the US - Sea Life Park Hawaii keeps Great Frigatebird and Texas State Aquarium keeps Magnificent.
Toledo keeps them at least.
Not that I'm currently aware, they have been kept occasionally.
Sickle-billed Vanga has been kept in Europe until a few years ago; I think there's some vangas kept in Madagascar.
Sporadic rescues, I don't think there's any long-term holdings though. Their arial lifestyle and insect diet make them difficult captives.
No successful attempts to my knowledge, as with most oceanic sharks.
Not that I'm aware of. Wouldn't surprise me if an Asian aquarium or two have them or have attempted them.
A handful of zoos in Europe have them, including successful breeding.
I've heard of another Laysan in Japan, but I have never heard any specifics.
Histrio histrio
Found in private collections and can be found for sale onlineHistrio histrio
Aquamarine Fukushima has a sailfish recently, which are close enough to swordfish.
May you specify which zoo? I can't find any zoo in Japanese holding them.
