I get that they want to make the animals feel at home (and I'm 100% supportive of that too) but at first glance that line made it seem as though that was the only effort made to make a very small space with few flamingos feel like a big space with lots of them. I realize that that is not quite the case, but I feel like deceiving the animals in terms of population numbers could end pretty badly in terms of the animals' mental state.

Zoos have always made me uncomfortable....
