As the list has gotten bigger, I will soon update it with all birds requested that are not in anyone’s top 15
Remember people, if your bird is a ground dweller that probably does not need the confinement of an aviary please dont add it to your list. I am trying to calculate birds and bats that need an enclosure big or small.

Sorry @tjc05310 I just realised we were supposed to do our top 15 in order of preference which I didn't do. Is it helpful if I do that or do just want me to leave it as it is?

I think I will make a separate list for the birds that don’t need aviarys that are flightless or wadding birds. As I did say those types would be omitted from the list.

So I've done a list as well - as requested, there are no ground-type birds that could be kept in a normal habitat (landfowl, waterfowl, secretary birds, hornbills, storks, cranes etc.). I have made sure that all the birds I've chosen are not too heavily reliant on perching and would look normal moving around on the current climbing frame system and moving on the ground.

1. Hyacinth macaw - South America: Vulnerable
2. Ruppell's griffon vulture - Africa: Critically Endangered
3. Victoria crowned pigeon - Oceania: Near Threatened
4. Scarlet macaw - North/Central America, South America: Least Concern
5. Great green macaw - North/Central America, South America: Critically Endangered
6. Bald eagle - North/Central America: Least Concern
7. Livingstone's flying fox - Africa: Critically Endangered
8. Toco toucan - South America: Least Concern
9. Kea - Oceania: Endangered
10. Grey hooded gull - Africa, South America: Least Concern
11. Atlantic puffin - Europe, North America: Vulnerable
12. Yellow billed magpie - North America: Vulnerable
13. Striated caracara - South America: Near Threatened
14. Greater roadrunner - North/Central America: Least Concern
15. Von der Decken's hornbill - Africa: Least Concern
16. Socorro dove - North/Central America: Extinct in the Wild
17. Northern lapwing - Africa, Asia, Europe: Near Threatened
18. Eurasian hoopoe - Africa, Asia, Europe: Least Concern
19. Flame bowerbird - Oceania: Least Concern
20. Rainbow lorikeet - Oceania: Least Concern
21. Guam rail - Oceania: Critically Endangered
22. European green woodpecker: Asia, Europe: Least Concern
23. Sun conure - South America: Endangered
24. Red billed blue magpie - Asia: Least Concern
25. White cheeked turaco - Africa: Least Concern
26. Andean condor - South America: Vulnerable

It is very likely we receive a large bird dlc, as the game has very little to offer in this department. Birds might also end up being some of the easiest animals in game to mod, a Scarlet Macaw can easily be modded into a Military Macaw, little modifications would be needed for a turkey vulture using a Lapped Faced Vulture, and so on. So it will be important to receive at least one representative from each bird family. This would of course not always apply as some birds even in the same family are incredibly detailed and distinct, for example having an African White Backed Vulture would not guarantee justice to a King Vulture mod, so in this case, I would rather have the Frontier model.

Oeh, this is difficult, because most birds I want are actually big enclosure ones like Pheasants, Victoria Crowned Pigeon, Secretary Birds, Shoebills, cranes and Lyrebird.

But I try to do it:
1: Lyrebird (while I want it in a big enclosure, I want more people to search for it/learn about it so they start wishing for this jewel of the bird world.
2: Quetzal
3: Torrent Duck
4: Frigate Bird (not a zoo animal, but whatever, they are too cool)
5: Greater Roadrunner
6: Victoria Crowned Pigeon (rather see it like Peacocks, but whatever, more mentions means more chance)
7: Lady Amherst Pheasant (see Victoria crowned)
8: King Vulture
9: African Fish Eagle (by far the most beautiful and special of any eagle)
10: Kookbaburra
11: Hoopoe, the only good thing coming from Europe (JK)
12: Gila Woodpecker (the one that drills through cacti)
13: Burrowing owl
14: Snowy Owl
15: Ground Hornbill
16: Greater Bird Of Paradise
17: Biggest Hummingbird (or the hummingbird with the most votes already)
18: Harpy Eagle
19: Bearded Vulture
20: Kea
21: Australian Ground Parrot / Kakepo?
22: Kiwi (rather see it free-roaming like peacock)
23: Puffin
24: Pitohui (poisonous bird)
25: Toucan
26: Hammerkop
27: Crested Caracara
28: Hoatzin
29: Black Swan
30: Manderin Duck

Right here we go. There hasn't been much thought put into this so it's basically a list of species I've worked with or seen in animal collections.

1. Fruit bats (not too bothered about specific species but would love more than one)
2. Eurasian eagle owl (large and with an awesome call)
3. Red kite (brilliant conservation recovery story for Europe and truly beautiful)
4. Golden eagle (I prefer this to the Baldie being European and more widespread)
5. Gyr falcon (large, beautiful and quite different to the other falcon in behaviour and habitat)
6. Caracaras (species varies. Included for their intelligence and hilarious antics)
7. Harris hawks (most common species in bird of prey collections and would be able to be kept in groups uniquely for the raptors)
8. Scarlet macaw (iconic)
9. Burrowing owl (small owl with potential for unique habitat designs)
10. Toucan (species optional)
11. Ibis (species optional but we need some classic wading birds)
12. Raven, crow or magpie (need a smart corvid)
13. Cormorant or shag (sea fishing and very common in zoo collections)
14. Bird of paradise (ideally several species)
15. Merlin falcon (how could you not! Best personality of all the falcons)

It would be great to have a variety of small birds as well but how would you choose which?!
