Mixed species exhibit ideas

Thinking of an aviary. Perhaps walkthrough, but not sure. How would these species sound?

*Need to be careful with male deer in a walkthrough.
*Risk of hybridising or fighting with bison and cattle

You might have problems with stress and fighting, but if the aviary is big enough, it should be fine. If you want to be extra safe, you could take out the cockatoo and great argus. I think it should be fine as a walkthrough.

Argus won’t make any waves. Cockatoos can take against anyone or anything.....
 
Could I keep some kind of turtle (like an arrau river turtle or yellow-spotted amazon river turtle) with cuvier’s dwarf caiman?
 
1. Gray wolf, european brown bear, i know many zoos have this combination but what is your opinion?

2. northern bald ibis, black stork

3. european eel, european catfish, northern pike, common carp

4. european green tree frog, common frog, yellowbellied toad, european salamander

thank you guys
 
1. Do zoos actually have this? I wouldn’t think this would work at all!
2. I’ve seen this before, you could even add other birds like egrets and spoonbills as well
3. Pike and catfish are definitely better off alone, both would predate the eel and carp and possibly each other
4. Don’t know enough about amphibian mixes

Would a large aviary with common ostrich, southern ground hornbill, African white-backed vulture, lappet-faced vulture, marabou stork, helmeted guineafowl, kori bustard, southern carmine bee-eater, village weaver, cape starling, green wood hoopoe, and southern yellow-billed hornbill work? There would be several ground areas inaccessible to the ostriches that the other ground birds would have access to.

The Marabou Storks are going to predate the smaller flying birds, if the Ground Hornbills don’t get those first. I wouldn’t trust the Ostriches not to eat small birds either,

I think FBBird is joking when they say rabbits would eat peccaries. Rabbits and tortoises would also work.

I’m so sorry guys, my bad. I was trying to say that Peccaries, known to scavenge carrion, just might have a go at live Rabbits.
Rabbits with Tortoises could be stressful for the Tortoises. Might work, I’ve known Mouse Deer and Tortoises to work.

If the bee-eaters, weavers, starlings, wood hoopoes, and yellow-billed hornbills were removed would it work then? Could East African crowned cranes and cattle egrets be added to the mix?
 
Could a large wetland aviary with lesser flamingo, pink-backed pelican, African darter, black heron, Goliath heron, hamerkop, shoebill, African spoonbill, African sacred ibis, hadada ibis, Egyptian plover, malachite kingfisher, knob-billed duck, African pygmy goose, Egyptian goose, white-faced whistling duck, Hottentot teal, and African black duck work? Could it be a walkthrough?
