The Ultimate, Essential Bird Meta-Wishlist (Habitat AND Aviary)

  • duck (preferably roasted)
  • goose (could also be roasted)
  • chicken (better fried)
  • dalmatian pelican
  • black necked swan
  • north island brown kiwi
  • golden pheasant
  • white backed vulture
  • thick billed parrot
  • roseate spoonbill
  • bee hummingbird
  • blue and yellow macaw
  • golden eagle
  • red tailed hawk
  • eurasian eagle owl
  • galah
  • cockatiel
  • blue winged kookaburra
  • kea parrot
  • peregrine falcon
  • coconut lorikeet
  • atlantic puffin
  • jabiru stork
  • harpy eagle
  • toco toucan
my replacement:
  • ocellated turkey
 
  1. Greater rhea - why is DQ (that's what I like about Texas) asking for essentially a clone? Simple: the rhea is a fantastic addition to a SA grassland habitat and it would have an interspecies bonus with tapirs, anteaters, and capybaras
  2. Curassow (any species) - I know that there are blue-billed and red-billed and even yellow-billed, but to me they're all the same
  3. Scarlet ibis - the crimson king of the really-cool rainforest
  4. Roseate spoonbill - the funny flamingo faker
  5. Superb lyrebird - the master of mimicry, the courageous copycat of Oceania
  6. Golden pheasant - a splash of gold would be nice
  7. Lady Amherst's pheasant - basically a white version of the golden pheasant
  8. Toco toucan - I always forget about these, but they're fantastic
  9. Laughing kookaburra - who wouldn't want this?
  10. Scarlet macaw - my favorite macaw species
  11. Budgerigar - yes, I know they are domestic, but they could have the axolotl treatment and have the wild, green type and them the colormorphs are the other color budgies
  12. Rainbow lorikeet - another splash of color, y'all
  13. Victoria crowned pigeon - a blue bird from Southeast Asia
  14. Ocellated turkey - the wild turkey's showy cousin
  15. Resplendent quetzal - this is a wishlist and a game where we get animals limited in international zoos. I want a quetzal even if it's only in Mexican zoos
  16. Horned screamer - they have the funkiest sounds ever. Would be a great bird to have in-game
  17. Quaker parrot - these little green parrots are from South America, but they are very adaptable and now there are feral populations in the States. I see them quite often here in Texas
  18. North Island brown kiwi - I honestly don't care which species of kiwi comes, but this is the one people mention so I'll add this one. I want this little (soccer ball-sized) puffball in the game
  19. Sulfur-crested cockatoo - an eccentric parrot that would be quite nice to have in-game
  20. Secretary Bird - probably the most essential bird to come to the game for African representation

Let's add 5 more
  1. Golden pheasant - a splash of gold to come to our zoo
  2. Blue-and-yellow macaw - we need a 2nd macaw so let's go with a classic
  3. Red junglefowl - our "domestic" bird, y'all. Identical in looks to the domestic chicken, but it's technically a wild species
  4. Keel-billed toucan - the pop culture toucan
  5. Great hornbill - the toucan-like Asian bird, y'all
Ok, I only got the kiwi down. So, another...

Lemme think for a little bit
(Jeopardy theme plays in background)

I got it:
I want a screwball duck amuck

And if that's illegal in the 7 seas, then gimme a Muscovy duck

To celebrate our newest additions, weekly community poll, what are your favorite penguins AND favorite ratites?

For penguins, I have too many to list but Adelie and Rockhopper have always been faves. As for ratites, it's the headliner themself, the kiwi!

For penguins I have always loved the African penguins, with Humboldt coming close for looking the same.

For ratites its hands down the kiwi, with cassowary coming close!

That watermarked art is really pushing my buttons, to be honest. I don't even know why😅

Now, about my favorite ratite, my favorite is the cassowary. And not because they look like a dinosaur or because they can kill me with a single swipe. It's just because they're different, period. The electric blue head, the casque, the jet black feathers. It looks like somebody just thought of cool features and mashed them together...

About penguins, I'd have to say the rockhopper. This goes back to Zoo Tycoon 2 Marine Mania, where the rockhopper was added into the game. I just loved it, thought it was so cool. And the name is pretty cool, too. Like, if I started a band, I'd name it Rockhopper

From the penguins I have to choose the Blue Penguin. I loved them since I was a child, and now seeing them in my favourite game is amazing!
And from the ratites, I have to choose the Greater Rhea. Apart from my literal profile picture, they were one of the first animals i saw in a zoo, they mean a lot for me.

Also, happy dlc launchment day!!! It's amazing to see 2 birds in a single pack. It gives me hope for in a future having flying birds (even with all of the negative look at this from other wishlists), we truly need more birds. These 2 are just the beggining!

Favourite Penguin: Jackass Penguin.
Favourite Ratite: Greater Rhea.
 
Penguin: Emperor
Mostly because it's what I always picture when I think of penguins, the iconic shape and coloration. I also had a plush for years from my grandparents of an emperor so yeah.
Ratite: Cassowary
Literally a real life dinosaur. Now I'm not saying I'd ever like to be near one, hell no. But they are really cool.
 
Hey all, no updates this week.

But listen up you birdbrains, over HALF of you who participated in this thing of ours voted for the kiwi and can substitute it with, along with the little blue, for a new vote for another bird, so GET ON IT ALREADY.

Anyway, weekly community poll, they can't really fly, they're not that smart, but by God, we love them, what some of your favorite landfowl?

For me, quite a few are this picture including the Wild Turkey, Helmeted Guineafowl, Junglefowl (we stan Hei Hei) and our non-stop breeding, non-stop pooping, constantly getting sent to quarantine king, the Indian Peafowl.

I personally like the Indian peafowl. Up in the country, my great grandmother, and later my great aunt, had some peafowl, which were there for some 30 years, at least. The last one died from a shock because my dog (the clumsiest Newfoundland you could meet) got one and brought it to our trailer up there; she DID NOT crush it or anything, she just gently picked it up. My mom took him back, but he died a few days later.

I also love turkeys (hope for them to come to the game) as well as golden pheasants. The junglefowl is also a handsome bird. Another one I like that's not shown is the Australian brush-turkey, which I like because I grew up on Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, and there are some brush-turkeys you need to chase
