Aviary Pack

Planet Zoo desperately needs some birds that actually fly and players could build there own walk through aviary if they wanted too.

My choices for Planet Zoo aviary Pack would be:

Golden Eagle
Toucan
Scarlet Macaw
Rainbow Lorikeet
Barn Owl
Pheasant
California Condor
Hornbill
I’ve been to a lot of zoos before and just about all them have birds that fly including one of the other zoos in my home state of South Carolina called the Riverbank Zoo and Botanical Garden and they have Rainbow Lorikeets that you can give nectar cups to and the Greenville Zoo has vultures I’m not sure what kind, all I’m saying is we wants birds Frontier ,please, please, please, give us some flying birds in the future.

Love your creative thoughts! It never crossed my mind to have nectar stations for lories as new feature lol. Care to see my thread too? Cuz I've happened to posted aviary idea of my own too before! Hope to see you there! lol

Why should pheasants be in closed cages but peafowl not? I hope we see pheasants the way we have peacocks...

Hey, I'm from South Carolina as well! The vultures at the Greenville Zoo are Ruppell's griffon vultures, and they very interestingly share their habitat with some bat-eared foxes. Riverbanks has cinerous vultures as well as three (I think?) other stretches of aviaries not including the lorikeets, vultures, and the bird house. Recreating Riverbanks in this game has been something of a pipe dream of mine, and while I've come up with "close enough" approximations for most of the other animals there (North American river otter > giant otter, California sea lion and harbor seal > gray seal, Hamadryas baboon > mandrill, Diana monkeys > capuchin monkeys, etc... only massive gripe is that I'd have to use something in place of the siamangs and I'm not huge on any of the current options), I really don't think it'll be possible to do it convincingly without aviaries being added. And meerkats, lol.

I'd love some more smaller birds in the game, although I'd settle for peafowl-style habitat species in the absence of aviary pieces. The southern ground hornbill, lyrebird, guineafowl, and a pheasant species or two would be so delightful to me.

I have been thinking about how aviaries will be implemented for so long now. I think they best way to do it would be to have three packs focused on aviaries, unless of course they want to break the $10 mold and go for a bigger expansion for more money, which I wouldn't be opposed to. The best way imo would be having a general aviary pack, and then two more packs with one focusing on birds from tropical rainforests, grasslands and deserts, and the second focusing on birds from temperate forests, taiga and tundra biomes.

Edit: I meant to say wouldn't instead of would. Fixed it

You are so right! It can't be a 5 or 8 animal pack...it would have to be a bigger dlc. Which is great for frontier. The most highly requested dlc is either going to be more than one dlc or be more expensive because of the size (I'm assuming).

6 continents (minus antarctica) 2 birds from each continent would be just bare minimum to make our zoos feel more "real".

My guess would be an Aviary pack (if they actually decide on doing this) that would be a DLC-only content.
So, no aviaries/birds in the free update because no current animal needs an aviary - which was different from diving.
1 bigger DLC ($19,99) with 15-30 birds (highly depends on how detailed birds are) and that's it. Just 1 addition with a mix from different biomes/continents etc.

5-8 birds wouldn't be enough to make aviaries a very good addition to PZ imo.

I know I play devils advocate here, but... three bird packs would basically be the same niché marketing than a primate pack would be. Or a pack only with canines or felines. People who do not care about birds - like me - exist. And while I would be fine with one pack and would buy it for completing reasons - THREE packs just with feathers? Oh gosh, heck no.
I am a primate person and even if I would be happy with a primate pack, I don't exactly madvocate for it for the very same reason. There are people who don't care for them. Keep it mixed, please.

Or, 1 with feathers, another with leathery wings (bats), and the 3rd with arboreal reptiles that glide (snakes, geckos, etc.). Just another thought that is likely not gonna happen

Would be a totally different story, yes. I doubt though, that we will ever see snakes and geckos etc. outside of an exhibit.

I guess my only problem with this how can you add aviary birds in a pack after the fact? Like, say they have an aviary pack that gives us 8 aviary birds, and then the next pack is a NA pack that gives us a bald eagle. If someone buys that NA pack, but doesn't have the aviary pack, they wouldn't be able to use the bald eagle, right?

So the only alternative I can think of is if they were to implement aviaries in an update and give like, 2 birds for free, then pair that with a larger aviary dlc pack. The question is would they do that or not. Because I feel like with diving, it was a bit different since there were animals from the base game that needed it anyways. But aviaries and free-flying birds are totally different from anything we have.

Hopefully I explained that well enough lol.

I think aviaries as a habitat type would come with a free update. They could be well used for climbing animals as well (Binturong, smaller monkeys). Deep diving was integrated in a free update as well.
