Essential aviary animals

I would be really happy with the first 10 birds from this list.
They can make an animal pack with 7 birds and add 3 or 4 more in a special deluxe package to it - buyed separately.
But still I would like to get animal pack with ground birds too.
 
Oh, just realised I'd missed this one? I'll leave out cranes, storks, pelicans and gamebirds as I covered them in my main enclosure list, in which case...

1. Snowy Owl
2. Great Grey Owl
3. Scarlet Macaw
4. Toco Toucan
5. Blue and Yellow Macaw
6. Rainbow Lorikeet
7. Great hornbill
8. Rhinoceros Hornbill
9. Andrean -of-the-Rock
10. Magnificent Bird of Paradise
11. Hyacinth Macaw
12. Lilac Breasted Roller
13. Common Barn Owl
14. Black-thighed Falconet
15. Hoopoe
16. Steller's Sea Eagle
17. Bald Eagle
18. Common Raven
19. Egyptian Vulture
20. Scarlet Ibis
21. Andean Condor
22. Laughing Kookaburra
23. Mandarin Duck
24. Black Swan
25. Bar-headed Goose
26. Wood Duck
27. Baikal Teal
28. Harlequin Duck
29. Indian Flying Fox
30: Some other fruit bat sp.
 
I literally created an account on the forum just to add my bird wishlist, I would LOVE to see an aviary mechanic added, especially if you can add the option for customers to purchase treats for the birds. For the sake of how loading all of that would go, maybe the aviary can be something that you load into separately?

Top 30:

1. Nene Goose
2. Cockatoo
3. Raven
4. Kookaburra
5. Great Horned Owl
6. Harpy Eagle
7. Shoebill Stork
8. Flying fox

10. Kiwi bird
11. Any sort of Macaw (Scarlet, Blue Throated, Hyacinth, etc.)
12. Condor
13. Bird of Paradise
14. Indian Ringneck Parakeet
15. Puffin
16. Any sort of "conure" (Sun, Jenday, Green Cheek, etc.)

Hey everybody. I’d like to start a list similar to random goat and darthquell. This time I’d like to open it to aviary animals. Birds and bats that would need to be contained in an aviary.

While we still are uncertain if frontier will start to include more animals per dlc, I will suggest we do 5-30. I believe a lot of us will suggest the same animals, I’d like to see what else people want. Also I doubt we will ever get 30 considering how many animals we get per dlc and would get in a true expansion pack.

While birds such as cranes and storks have been requested, I think they will be fine without being contained in an aviary.
Also flightless birds will not been counted.

I will update the list as often as I can.
Please list your top 15 in order on how much you want said flying animal as I will be able to rank them. Your remaining 15 will simply be tallied by requests.

First I’ll start with my top 30 in order.

  1. Bald eagle
  2. California condor
  3. Snowy owl
  4. Caracara
  5. Flying fox
  6. Blue macaw
  7. African grey parrot
  8. Kookaburra
  9. Osprey
  10. Red tailed hawk
  11. Birds of paradise
  12. Great hornbill
  13. Harris hawk
  14. Steller sea eagle
  15. Harpy eagle
  16. Andean condor
  17. Toucan
  18. Cormorant (any)
  19. Pelican (any)
  20. Golden eagle
  21. Saker Falcon
  22. African yellow bat
  23. Northern Goshawk
  24. Polynesian hawk
  25. Puffins (any)
  26. Great horned owl
  27. Secretary bird
  28. Egyptian vulture
  29. Spotted harrier
  30. Peregrine falcon
Those are also some of my personal favorites.

I would love vampire bats and hondurian white bats as exhibit animals. And ambient song birds, hummingbirds and butterflies.

Also i want lots of "mostly grounded" birds such as marabou and jabiru storks, saddle billed stork, shoebill, secretary bird, seriema, helmeted and vulturine guineafowl, emu and greater rhea but i prioritized the "flying" species. Anatidae species could potentially be excluded from the list since they spend most of their time in water, but they are migratory birds that fly long distances so they fit in an aviary pack. Also Frontier keeps ignorin all of these birds even though they could've been introduce into the game already without the need of flying mechanics just like they did with peacocks and flamingos.
 
I don't have faith in a well-done aviary pack, but here goes regardless:

1. Bald eagle
2. Steller's sea eagle
3. Peregrine falcon
4. Rüppell's griffon vulture
5. Andean condor
