Aviaries are really needed and I think we're going to get them as the 20$ dlc almost akin to the PC Ghostbusters dlc where it was a bigger dlc to end the game with.
Aviary Pack
- Thread starter Brandon Gill
- Start date
Mainly the reason why I think it will be a standalone DLC feature. A one-time big opportunity to address aviaries and done
I don't see them adding aviaries and some free birds/scenery/foilage/aviary building pieces to a free update (dont mind being wrong on this)
There are no base game animals that would need an aviary and adding aviaries without any actual use for base game owners, seems a bit unlikely.
Aviary Pack Ideas (revised ver. of old post)
Now that the new Southeast Asia Animal Pack is on it's way and the Aquatic Pack released last Christmas, I've decided to revise my idea of a bird-focused DLC which I had posted in Oct 2020. New Features: Update to Base Game: Birds and other viviparous species now lay eggs which have incubation...
Yeah, I'd have to disagree with this... not making aviary elements free DLC because there are no current animals that can use it is dumb; there's too much potential future DLC that Frontier would have to omit if they did that.
That's because I think SanRazo618 could be right. One (last) bigger DLC.
Ugh... I hate all this talk of the last DLC... it's depressing and makes me not want to buy it anymore; I mean, why support the game if they're gonna kill it so soon?

It's purely speculation based on nothing conclusive, though. I wouldn't worry just yet.

I think it would be a good idea if there were several sizes for birds 's exhibit. These images could serve as an example of what I mean
Small Size
Medium Size
Big Size

That's impressive, where did you find all that data? Somewhere on zoochat?
ZOOINSTITUTES
Welcome to my website! Ever since childhood, I have been a great fan of zoos, but one question always bothered me; as time passes, most of what I have seen is forgotten. Fortunately, computers and the Internet entered the scene, and with it the opportunity to capture everything that I saw in...
zooinstitutes.com
That medium one is perfect for Macaws. I can picture flocks of red and blue all over that cage
I’m willing to accept these as a compromise, but I really hope we can customize our own aviaries
I'm not... they'd be no better than the exhibit animals or the Pteranodon in JWE... animated decor, nothing more... plop them down and forget they exist...
Better than nothing.
They will most likely make the aviaries via looped animation (fine by me), just hope we will be able to customize the aviaries and also that there will be several sizes, becuase as we know, Frontier likes some very unrealistic space requirments for some of the animals (polar bear, too big exhibits for spiders etc. which frankly looks ridiculous if trying to build realistically).
Uh, no... not really... if they were seriously going to take such a cheap and unremarkable route, I'd rather they stick to things that work as habitat animals...
There are so many birds. But for me the
Crested Caracara
Martin giant hunter
Mallard duck
Black-necked swan
Martin de Rothschild.
On the one hand they can make birds like Cormorants or Swans or cranes or Pelicans because they do not need aviaries and can make less feathers because zoos cut the feathers of birds for those fly and escape so it's a little easier. On the other hand, all those who need aviaries in order not to escape, such as Raptors or Parrots, risk being longer. He can make the birds in several DLC like Africa or Birds which do not fly ... On the other hand I do not know how long it takes to make a single bird even if there are a lot of details to do. But I think very soon there will be flying birds, you just have to believe in it and be pantient, that's all.
