    They currently have 3 off-show, while the Baer's pochard are going in the flamingo enclosure.

    Are you sure? I saw some in the new house ages ago (can't remember when exactly, but it's been a while since I last visited anyway) so they have been in the new house. Did you see them back in the temp enclosure recently? Maybe they've had to move them back out if so.

    They moved out of the old home maybe in mid-December.

    PETA is one of those organisations whose opinion is formed before they do the research.
