If you have to choose a single bird without an aviary which one do you choose?

[Orque41]

I know this qeustion is very hard but in the game there are not enough birds that have only 6 birds. So which bird do you choose? Without an aviary it means no raptors, parrots or toucans.

I choose the Black Swan

 

[FoxyDee]

Kiwi bird or secretary bird.

 

[paul78]

Normally I’d say Secretary Bird for sure but I guess I will go with the American white pelican although any will do. It would be great to put these guys in with some other animals.

 

[Jevana]

Red crowned crane

 

[DarthQuell]

Whooping crane, an endangered bird found throughout Southern United States swamps and wetlands

 

[Aramar]

It's difficult to pick one among secretary bird or white pelican or mute swan. However, I would choose the emu because they are quite common in zoos and it would enlarge the limited number of Australian animals in the game.

 

[markun]

If only one I would have to say the emu. But picking just one isn't at all easy.

 

[Baryonix82]

It is a difficult decision, I have many doubts. He would probably take the helmeted guineafowl and put it in the enclosure of the animals of the African savannah

 

[nutrit]

Mighty SHOEBILL

 

[KönigDerKaffeebohnen]

I would choose the black swan.
Waterfowl is dearly missed in the game and this pretty fella is not only seen in parks around the world but also originated from australia,enhancing their animal roster.
It feels like the perfect mix of common enough outside to be "just some waterfowl" while still being unique enough to have a place in australian themed sections

 

[biggest_dreamer]

The gray crowned crane and it isn’t close.

 

[Chuditch]

Emu stands out the most for me, although Black Swan, Magpie Goose, Australian Pelican and North Island Brown Kiwi are all close.

 

[nrg_2001]

Emu or sandhill crane

 

[NZFanatic]

Just one is next to impossible. I'm obligated to pick the North Island brown kiwi, but in terms of likelihood it would probably be something else.

 

[peafowl]

Agami heron or temmicks tragopan

 

[ElectricMonk]

North island brown kiwi, after that, pelican or swan and emu are tied.

 

[Cynogale bennettii II]

The ocellated turkey is definitely my top choice, although there are probably close to two dozen species of ground bird or water bird I would love to see.

 

[Artisticbinturong]

Western capercaillie, majestic large ground bird from Eurasian coniferous forests.
Males have really unique calls during breeding season which would create a nice ambience in zoos.

 

[Roxxsmom]

Swans are common in zoos and can be used in ponds that are not enclosed as well, as their flight feathers are often trimmed. Right now any pond scenery we include that isn't part of a habitat is sadly barren and empty. The game currently has no ducks, geese, or swans at all, and these birds are common in zoos. I think a swan species is needed at least!

Mute swans are pretty, but I believe trumpeter swans are bigger and are also the largest native waterfowl found in the US/Canada and are quite impressive. So I'd vote for Trumpeter swans.

Mute swan for me, if we're choosing swans. They're found all over Europe, North America, New Zealand, and they're in Australia. I totally agree that some more waterfowl are needed, though.
