Essential aviary animals

I have many avian species I wish to add but since this is limited I’ve included 30 species that I totally wish to add in the planet zoo roster expecially for the Aviary pack hopefully as a expansion pack no less.
1.Bald Eagle
2. Golden Eagle
3.Philippine Eagle
4. Snowy Owl
5. Great Horned Owl
6. Burrowing Owl
7. Eurasian Eagle Owl
8. Blakiston's fish owl
9.California Condor
10. Griffon Vulture
11. Lammergeier
12.Perigrine Falcon
13. Harris Hawk
14. Scarlet Macaw
15. Rainbow Lorikeet
16. Spix’s Macaw
17 African Gray Parrot
18. Rhinoceros Hornbill
19. Bali Mynah
20. Superb Lyrebird
21. Shoebill
22. Toco Toucan
23. Channel Billed Toucan
24. White Throated Magpiejay
25. Himalayan Monal Pheasant
26. Nene Goose
27.Rodrigues Flying Fox
28.Large Flying Fox (or Kalong)
29.Common Vampire Bat
30. Laysan albatross (said to be one at a Monterey Bay Aquarium)
 
I don't know if anyone included this, but thick billed parrots are a pretty seriously endangered parrot species, one of only two that was native to the US (they are extinct here now, though a small population remains in Mexico). They are very vulnerable to climate change, because their preferred food is pine nuts. They are bred in some zoos with an eye to expanding them back into their former range, but so far attempts at reintroduction to mountains of Arizona have been unsuccessful :(

I love most of the other birds people mentioned here too. (the forum is censoring this word :O ) of the Rocks are so gorgeous, as are lorikeets. I realize they probably won't be able to give us more than a handful of the species essential in zoos.

Honestly I don't think there are thirty "essential" aviary animals. More conservatively, I'd go with something like this;

- California or Andean condor.
- Steller's sea eagle.
- Eurasian eagle owl.
- Sulphur-crested cockatoo.
- Blue-and-gold macaw.
- Toco toucan or Great Indian hornbill.
- Waldrapp or scarlet ibis.
- Malaysian flying fox.

Eight animals, a broad range, and all of them of a middling to large size, all of them fairly iconic, important to conservation projects, and in zoos. Personally I don't see why anyone would expect an "expansion pack". Birds are pretty much an untapped resource - once they give us the initial set with the initial DLC, they can add more in further DLC's going forward. Economically it makes a lot more sense for them to hold back a lot of species.
