    Why do you Saint Louis so low and Milwaukee last? Both of those exhibits deserve to be higher.

    Also, is Detroit really the best? It's certainly really good but I don't think it lives up to the hype.

    Saint Louis is great but I think it could be slightly larger for the amount of birds it holds. I think it’s pretty high.
    Milwaukees exhibit is not impressive, it doesn’t have anything unique to it and the water pool is too small.

    Not to sound rude but could you elaborate on why you think this? You’ve hinted it a few times in the past so a solid reasoning would be nice.

    Yes, but Saint Louis' exhibit is easily the most engaging exhibit - you're right there with the birds. From a visitor's standpoint it is by far the best.
    It doesn't really do anything unique aside from just being big.
