Jesus Christ on a motorbike! That is a lot of pheasants! (19 pheasants)
22 actually
Not enough Pheasants and Birds that are closely related to them. Replace the Takahe with the Green Peafowl or the Congo Peafowl. Unless there's even a Pheasant that isn't on the List yet. In that Case of course the remaining Pheasant instead22 actually
There are of course many more pheasants, but I picked these because they are some of the most common zoo species.Not enough Pheasants and Birds that are closely related to them.

I also like the remaining three non-pheasants, so they aren't going anywhere!
Barn Owl. Easily my favorite.

Seeing the recent discussion about kestrel species, I would like to clarify why my vote for the European kestrel has the term "European" in parentheses. According to Zootierliste, those particular holdings are for the subspecies F. t. tinnunculus, for which on the website they use the common name "European kestrel". This is a subspecies of the common kestrel, so I had to put "European" in parentheses, as this is the format I use for subspecies and disputed (sub)species, when writing up my lists. This does not imply kestrels are monotypic.
Since species level is the preferred rank in this thread, the appropriate way to add this species to the falcon category would be by calling it the common kestrel, instead of European.
My extra five votes, using the same method I've described for my first twenty:
- Eastern rosella (no subspecific status) - 200 EAZA holdings
- (Eurasian) long-eared owl - 187 EAZA holdings
- Sun conure - 179 EAZA holdings
- White-tailed eagle - 170 EAZA holdings
- Common buzzard (no subspecific status) - 166 EAZA holdings
I have a feeling you like pheasants
YES!!!!! I'd love to build a really nice Aviary with lots of australian Birds. Hope we'll get lots of them
Honestly I'd day that's the things Oceania is lacking in most. After getting tassie devil, tree kangaroo, echidna, monitor and maybe a sealion we pretty much only need birds.YES!!!!! I'd love to build a really nice Aviary with lots of australian Birds. Hope we'll get lots of them
Only going by habitat ones there's,
Kiwi
Crowned pigeon
Black swan
White Ibis
And that's just the popular we could also get the royal spoonbill, Bush turkey, swamphen, takahe, cattle egret, whistling duck and so much more!
I want those for such a long Time already. It would be awesome if they would make it into the Game someday.
They would be so perfect to live together with the Red Kangaroos in my New Zealand Zoo
There pretty standard backyard animals for me which I'd really like. The only one of those I got so far is the wallaby so it'd be nice to have something to pair them with. Echidna or possum would fill this too though.
List has been updated!
Hey hey, our first non-duck sweep! Pheasants have flown their way into the Top 5 spot! With that said, vultures, toucans, and pelicans are still close contenders - shortening the gap amongst the top 10 species.
With that said, we say congrats to our THIRD species to make it to triple digits - macaws!
To celebrate, weekly community poll - what's your favorite macaw species?
It's a bit basic, but you can't beat the classic imo - Scarlet
POV: you STILL haven't voted in the Bird Wishlist

Millitary. While I think that it is very generic, I do believe that green suits parrots very well. Macaws are not an exception.
