One thing I really dislike about Aviaries.

[James4125]

Below I attached two screenshots. One is the view of my first aviary from directly above the viewing gallery. The other is the view of the gallery itself.
No doubt if you've played the game yourself you already know what to expect but why is this a thing? All the trees and rocks and every Pterosaur chooses the same roosting spot?
Edit. It won't post the screenshot for some reason but its 5 Pteranodon 4 Dimorphodon and a few Tropeognathus all sitting side by side cramped in on top of a single viewing gallery.

Probably because they are too big.

Yeah this really is a problem i mean none of the flyers even habe a walking animation thats so lazy why cant they walk around they can only sit there

I can live with no walking animations but having a massive aviary with 15 Pterosaurs all sat in one corner the whole time defeats the object of an aviary.

Check to see if the pictures are under 1 MB. That's the most common reason

Hi there, thank you for the feedback. You should be able to use some decorative pillars and lights as perches inside the Aviaries.

Hi there, thank you for the feedback. We recommend placing down some rocks inside the Aviary, which your flying reptiles will be able to perch on. You can also use some of the decorative pillers as perches.

I place a lot of rocks and the flying reptiles only perch in the gallery and in the decorations. It's very unnatural to have to put decorations inside the aviary. We need broken trees or logs... or that they truly perch on the rocks which I have not seen for now because they use the gallery.

They don't roost on rocks.

My bad, I could swear I'd seen this when I was playing, but I must have been misremembering. I've removed this from my original post.

It could be reported to the developers to be incorporated in future updates and to make aviaries more natural environments. That they can perch on rocks.

I realised that already but putting decorations and lights in the aviary just doesn't fit the aesthetic at all.
Edit.
It actually let me post the screenshot this time. As you can see I put considerable effort into making it look natural so I was loathe to ruin that with signs and whatnot.

Could it be a bug that they perch on some rocks, but not for the rocks available to certain other environments. Cause I could swear I've seen screenshots of perching on rocks, but they didn't perch on any of the rocks I placed in Oregon.
