Another idea on birds

[Orkan]

Alright here’s a thought:
With the new kinds of facilities lately, what if there was a new one for our avian friends? What if we took the Exhibit, the Habitat, and the Gift Shop, and paired them with flying birds…

The Aviary Exhibit.

It would come in multiple configurations, such as 4x4m, 4x8m, Walkthrough, and others. It would be like an exhibit mixed with a habitat. It’s essentially a preset null barrier with some basic feeding/drinking equipment that is already placed down for you.

Now, like the Gift Shops, you would be able to place things like perches and nesting boxes freely. The birds will, then come and interact with them once you put them in the exhibit. They will be in free flight, but not really. More like a medium between having everything preset and little to nothing preset.

This could work really well for things like Macaws, Budgies, Toucans, etc. It could also be modified to accommodate things such as raptors and other large avians. It would be the best way to make the habitat bird wanters and exhibit bird wanters happy. What do you guys think?

This was kind of the thought that I thought many of us were talking about for birds of sizes like Macaws, Eagles, Owls, Toucans, Cockatoos, Hornbills, Woodpeckers, Kingfishers, Hawks...to name a few. They'd be flying exhibit birds. Even when I believed in the dream they'd come to the game, I always thought it in an exhibit, not free like in a habitat. Habitat birds...save that for the Secretary Bird, Pelican, Storks, Herons, Turkeys, Roadrunners Ibises and other wading or ground based birds.

That's actually a pretty cool idea! It sounds like a win-win situation for both the birds and the visitors. I say go for it

Looking through old threads, if this theory becomes real because the modular gift shop I will be absolutely shocked.
