Spring 2024 DLC Speculation

I love pelicans
I love geese
I love swans
I love ducks
I love screamers
I love trumpeters
I love spoonbills
I love shoebills
I love cranes
I love storks
I love ratites
I love game birds
I love penguins
I love flamingos
I love wading birds
I love the other weirdos without a group, like the Victoria crowned pigeon, secretary bird, burrowing owl, and red legged seriema
I could make a list of so many birds that could still work in the game, and yet it took us 4 years to get double digits. As much as I would love to say a bird dlc could sell, I simply don’t know. I don’t know how much people care. All I know is I would pay a lot for a decent sized bird pack or expansion.

I'm always expecting to be disappointed, so for me most DLCs end up being better than I was thinking. That's my method to avoid being heartbroken due to not enough aviary, aquatic or exhibit species.
This is the way.
Usually it’s inside a cage or aviary, which you can build both in game. Or you can imagine it’s wings are clipped like with the flamingos or swans.
But tbh there is a lot of stuff to suspend your disbelief with in this game, like the titan beetle.
Imo the "not being kept in open exhibits" argument was never a particular valid one. There are alot of animals already in game which usually are in netted exhibits.
So i think a better way to gauge if something is fit as a habitat species is if they would look believable without flight
Once again this is a non issue in PZ. It is the same for flamingos, cranes, swans, leopards, jaguars, bats, etc. If you care about realism you can always build an implied aviary/ enclosure. All those animals are habitat animals despite being able to fly/ scape in open habitats. Sure flamingos and cranes could be clipped but that also goes against animal wellfar. Is a game, they would work as habitat animals and you just build a enclosed habitat for them.
Worst of all the CEOs that make these terrible choices keep their jobs while the talented people behind the games that are popular get the boot.
There's a LOT of foliage missing from the wiki, because there's a lot of foliage and also no one really cares about the foliage, lol. I'll add it, thank you for bringing it up
btw thank you for adding the links to the spanish wiki on the protected pages, much appreciated!
I expect it to be underwhelming. Might not be true at all, but it feels like they have already abandoned the game :/
I don’t even care what species, I saw Brown Pelicans yesterday and I want them even more now
As for the burrowing owl i don’t really care about it in general, I don’t really consider NA having any interesting bird species like turkey or roadrunner, to me there are way more interesting species. But yes I agree that even though an animal is usually kept in a caged enclosure, doesn’t mean it can’t be added to the game, this situation applies to things like flamingos and leopards like said before.
Roadrunner i agree but the boring turkey more interesting than funny wacky cutie burrowing owl? NahI don’t even care what species, I saw Brown Pelicans yesterday and I want them even more now

No I meant Im not interested in all 3 of them.
I'm sure we will get attention back after the console release.
Id take all three.
Roadrunner and owl are both cool little birds and would be awesome additions to something like a desert dome or similar stuff. The turkey would be nice to have to put it in domestic areas.
None of them are like top bird prio to me, but thats more the fault of us having barely any birds and less that i think that they are not good additions

I agree there are more interesting bird species, but I would like a bird representative for my continent.
This is going to sound weird, but I would like a turkey, roadrunner, burrowing owl, Canada goose, wood duck, and whooping crane because they are mundane! Having them I can flesh out another animal habitat even more: adding wild turkeys to the pronghorns or peccaries, adding the waterfowl to a beaver habitat, etc. I can also use them to fill out other areas I’m building. Adding the burrowing owl next to my prairie dogs, or adding the whooping cranes close to my alligators are some good examples.
They are moe mundane than something flashy like a shoebill, but I would like to have those mundane options. I would like to have those options, not every animal I need to be super flashy. Sometimes I’m happy getting a “filler” animal, they do wonders in making my zoos more believable.

Oh yeah of course! Good luck on getting everything on the Spanish wiki up to date!
