Secretary Bird or Grey-crowned Crane

[synthetase]

Which would you rather have and why?
For me, its Crane, because I like a little intra family variety. And they seem more like a zoo animal and they are beautiful.
Edit to say, I will attempt to keep track of votes if there are enough of participants.

Crane. The secretarybird is neat but it's not the same vibe. I'd love to have a species to realistically mix with flamingos.

Agreed. I want crane more but Secretary bird is still cool.

Easily the crane, common in zoos, very beautiful, can be both a stand alone or mixed habitat animal

My reasons too. Except I didn't think of the mixed habitats yet.

Grey crowned crane, shoebill, and the great white pelican would be such a neat mix of animals to have. Could build a pseudo-wetlands aviary with them and the flamingo.

Grey-Crown Crane... easier to make (recycles Red-Crown Crane rig), nice and colorful, and works in a mixed exhibits with other African animals.

 

[FoxyDee]

Secretary Bird for its uniqueness, it would be basically the only bird of prey that we can realisticaly get, while the Crane for usefulness and mixed species enclosures. That would be a fun animal and add a flavor to the mixed african hoofstock enclosures. So yeah, both are grat, but I am going to vote for the Secretary Bird, because with its special animations, modders cannot really recreate that, while the crane mod is already great as is.

 

[Hypermoth]

As cool as the Secretary Bird is, Grey Crowned Crane all the way. I guess I'd agree with FoxyDee that the Secretary Bird would be more useful to modders, but putting that aside I would absolutely prefer the crane as one of the most iconic zoo birds.

 

[Fossa]

Secretary Bird by far, the Grey Crowned Crane is very easy to create for modders, and the Secretary Bird is far more beautiful, special, unique, bizarre and everything. I don't care for realism, it's the worst thing in this community in my opinion so I just ignore that.

Crane by far for all of the reasons previously offered. I’m not opposed to the secretarybird, but this is a night and day comparison to me.

Grey crowned crane. Instead of secretary birds, add red-legged seriemas

 

[leehonglocal]

I prefer grey crowned crane.

 

[Annie_konik]

I also prefer the Grey Crowned Crane

 

[Marvinb]

Also crane for me. I only ever see secretary in big aviaries with vultures and stuff, and since we dont have those the secretary would look kind lost in the game for me

If i have to be 100% pragmatic then is the crane. Is the most useful of the two.

But being selfish i want the secretary bird.

Grey crowned crane, if we get the secretary bird I would like some updated enrichment items and new mesh pieces. As the game stands though, I think grey crowned crane is better.

I think part of the problem with the bird roster is the lack of choices among simple groups. I think a second crane would be nice to flesh out what we already have. A second flamingo would also help flesh out the existing waders, and I want to see the black swan and big 3 ducks to flesh out waterfowl.

The secretary bird is unique, is impressive, and carries a bit of nostalgia for me, so I wouldn't be too upset if we got that one instead. I really hope there is room for both.

I want to have both one day, but we don’t live in a perfect world. We live in a Frontier world. So no birds, and of the birds we have we don’t have much options.

The curse of underrepresented groups, the requested picks basicly have to wage war against each other
