Hopefully we get more than this, into 2024, but some ideas I have for the three remaining packs for the year and the game's official support.
Q2 - Aviaries - as unlikely as it is, this is the only thought to what can provide the game something of a less unbalanced (rather than balanced) offering of birds. By having 4 different exhibit birds, non-walk through I'd think, that could possibly free up enough resources to give us two species of each. There's absolutely no evidence or history this would happen, but I'm putting it out there anyways.
Secretary Bird
Shoebill Stork
Northern Brown Kiwi
Mute Swan
Exhibit - Macaws x 2 (Scarlet and Hyacinth Macaws)
Exhibit - Owls x 2 (Snowy and Barn Owl)
Exhibit - Cockatoos x 2(Sulphur Crested and Major Mitchell's Cockatoos)
Exhibit - Hornbills x2 (Rhinoceros and Great Hornbills)
Q3 - Woodlands Animal Pack (Temperate/Taiga animals) - Bavarian or Log Cabin styled scenery set
Tasmanian Devil
Wolverine
Wild Boar
Spectacled Bear
Exhibit: - Eagles x2 (Bald and Golden Eagles - if it can only be one, definitely the Bald Eagle
Anniversary animals - standard exhibit Cobra and Chameleon species
Q4 - Finale Wrap Up Pack, which I do hope they'll do for the last pack.
Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
Crested/Cape Porcupine
Somali Wild Donkey
Arctic Hare
Black Howler Monkey
Squirrel Monkey
Patagonian Mara
Exhibit - Toucans x2 (Toco and Keel Billed Toucans)
That gives us a total of 15 more habitat spots, 2 Standard Exhibit animals, and 6 types of exhibit birds for a total of 12 species. Sigh. It's not enough. I don't want this game to end this year. I really want another year of content, or at least half way through 2024. but truthfully, taking out the Avain pack's set up, we're looking at likely 18/19 habitat species left, depending on an anniversary animal.
I hate to harp on this, but those numbers wouldn't be so overwhelming if we had more of new world monkeys and habitat birds. But I had to shove in 4 of the birds and 2 of the New World Monkeys and it still feels like shorting them. But with the rest of the list my heart is set on hoping these are the habitat animals we see. I know it won't be 100%, certainly, but hopefully most of them. As for the doubling up on exhibit animals, thats probably not going to happen but I still want to hope.
So many favorites not getting in and so many recently added to favorites to not get in. Sorry my Brazilian Porcupine and Sulwesi Bear Cuscus, it simply was too late in the game (literally) to hold on to a chance of you actually making it in. Perhaps if we had another year....at least for the Brazilian Porcupine.

. Honestly my list would look very different but we all have personal preferences and I think especially regarding an end of Support (which hopefully will not be the Case) this Shows even stronger.
I like your ideas especially the aviary Pack!
and finally I have decided to drop birds
