You wanted South American representation, how about the Jame’s Flamingo?
To be honest if a safari pack comes around with the guineafowl and the grey crowned crane, I would actually be pretty happy. At the very least in 2025 PZ then has two flamingos, all the major ratities, two cranes, and two (wild) ground fowl.
The only thing missing from that is waterfowl. Which I’m still a little doubtful on but I hope Frontier proves me wrong.
Listen, I am American Flamingo simp #1.
But even I would think that might be too much. I don’t get a new Flamingo for almost 5 years and Frontier gives us two new species in the span of 1? Despite everything I have said, even I would rather the DLC slot go to a different clone.
A crane. Please next bird clone be a crane. But one that looks different from the red crowned crane because stuff like sarus, sandhill, siberian, whoopinh crane would be pretty much the same thing. So crowned, damoiselle, blue, wattled, hooded all welcomed.
Yeah, as much as it'd be nice to have, the only advantage the whooping crane has is that it's endangered.
I'd much rather have the grey-crowned, honestly

How would people feel about herons? Could y'all see them coming? I particularly like the great blue heron, but of course there are several out there that would be nice to have
Decent, don't really need them, maybe for "wild" aspect. No, it's a bird
I was wondering this. I love herons.
While they fly (beautifully, a pterosaur) I feel like they could have the swan treatment.
They'd need an animation to stand statue-still for a long time though, it would be bizarre if they constantly moved about.
So many options for them too. I feel like the Chinese pond heron would be a good contender
Yeah its similar to the swan where its more an ambient animal that anything else, and i think for that purpose id prefer the mallard
Awesome. I would like at least one heron. But i don't see Frontier doing herons tbh.
Depends on the heron species. There are some that are very exotic that would be great for wetlands aviaries.
I would like to have one, but tbh I would love to have more water long-legged birds in general (I don't know if there's a word for those in English, in my language they're called "échassiers" which could be translated as "stiltsers", even though it's not considered a valid taxon anymore) aside from flamingos.
I'd love a Heron. The one I want most is probably just Great Blue. I'd hope for that and also any exotic Heron.
An ibis, stork and/or roseate would be greatly appreciated as well.
I think a boat billed heron would be so cool!
As to the crane conversation I would love a whooping or Sandhill crane. But I agree something visually striking would be my go to. So grey crowned crane it is.
I got to be honest, while I would take any duck. One of the reasons I want a Tropical Duck is that I don’t necessarily want just an “ambient” duck. I would want one that I have to build for. The mallard wouldn’t be a bad option either though, I would just want something a bit more “intent” with my builds.
The mute swan is atleast big, so if I make it an ambient animal it is large enough with bright white coloration to make it stand out. The mallard would be kind of small.
However, and I mean a big exception to what I am saying, is if we get multiple duck species with the mallard. Say we get three duck species native to Europe and North America. That being the common mallard, the common merganser, and the northern shoveler. Then not only do I have more ambient animals, but with these three species I can now make a dedicated habitat. I can make a meshed in duck pond, featuring wetland ducks from all over the place. Now I am building with a bit more purpose. And if I want I can also throw all of them in with a swan and call it a day. Admittedly this would never happen, but who knows. Maybe we are gonna get a Wetlands Part 2?

Since American flamingo, here's one more flamingo species I preferred to be in Planet Zoo. Chilean flamingo. It's the last of all three species of Phoenicopterus to be in Planet Zoo.
Anyway, that's my optional.

Herons are cool, but my problem is as the same with the Ibis and spoonbill is that yes, they spend a lot of time on the ground, wading in the water, but they do fly often
so realistically is it possible within PZ without a real aviary? might be just me, idk, but the zoos I've been too I have not seen Ibissses and Spoonbill outside of an aviary.The goliath heron on the other hand, that is I think an exception
