a little odd

I'll let you make what you want of the following story from Brit Hume on Fox News:

Nature vs. Nurture?
A German zoo's plan to introduce females into a group of what they think are homosexual male penguins has angered gay rights groups — who complain that the zoo's actions are trying to turn the penguins straight.
The Bremerhaven Zoo concluded the penguins might be gay after the males tried to mate with one another. Zookeepers say they just want to see whether the birds were acting that way because of a lack of females.
A spokesman added, "Nobody is trying to break up same sex pairs by force."
