If there was a single model and animation set for a couple flighted bird species in the same pack, what type of bird model would you choose?

I'm thinking if we get any flying birds, it'd probably just be one per DLC, so I'd like a butterfly situation to add a bit of diversity (the butterflies are 5 species in one, but I think it's probably hard to justify more than 2-3 for birds, even if the model and animations don't change)

I'm thinking Conures, Macaws, Lovebirds, Lories & Ringnecks are decent candidates.
Examples:

• Conures: Sun, Green-cheeked & Thick-billed Parrot (beak and head feather proportions vary)

• Macaws: Scarlet & Blue-and-yellow

• Lovebirds: Peach-faced, Masked & Madagascan

• Lories: Rainbow Lorikeet, Dusky Lory & Red Lory (beak proportions vary)

• Ringnecks: Malabar Parakeet & Red-breasted Parakeet

Macaws, definitely getting the most i would want with that. Even though i want the bald eagle more and would absolutely miss a cockatoo and toucan, macaws serve a wider purpose for me.

I would also go for parrots, most bang for our buck in terms of a single flying rig to use.

Next up would be birds of prey: eagles, hawks, vultures, falcons, and owls could all potentially use the same rig.

Macaws: they're not my favourite or anything but they're such a classic Zoo animals

Scarlet / Blue and Gold / Hyacinth being the big 3 but if they really wished to push the boat out, Red and Green and Military would also be great bonuses too.

I’m gonna have to say Lorys. Lorikeet Landing (and other similarly named attractions) are such a staple of so many zoos out there.

Plus if we get lorys, the same model and animation set could be used for conures and other such small parrots.

I'd probably say macaws would be the best, with scarlet, blue-and-yellow and great green macaws, plus the golden conure (which, despite the name, is more closely related to the macaws than to other conures).

My alternative choice would be the toucans - I just really like them, even though they are much more rarely-kept in captivity than the macaws. I would choose the toco, white-throated and keel-billed toucans as my top three, although I'd also love the channel-billed and yellow-throated toucans as well.
