Not sure on the crocs, but alligator tail tastes more like turkey to me.

Oh, and I found the paper the news snippet was based on:
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full...76#.UqHV19JDui5
V. Dinetsa*, J.C. Brueggenb & J.D. Brueggenb
Abstract:
Using objects as hunting lures is very rare in nature, having been observed in just a handful of species. We report the use of twigs and sticks as bird lures by two crocodilian species. At least one of them uses this method predominantly during the nest-building season of its prey. This is the first known case of a predator not just using objects as lures, but also taking into account the seasonality of prey behavior. It provides a surprising insight into previously unrecognized complexity of archosaurian behavior.

Well those "dinosaurs" haven't survived all this time by being stupid.

They don't have to be smart, just less stupid than their prey.
