Mixed species exhibit ideas

[cornu aspersum]

I mean would it be bad because it’s endangered

No. Both condors and turkey cultures are scavengers and vultures of different species have been known to be mixed together. Also, an animal being endangered or not doesn't change whether it can be successfully mixed with other species.

Agassiz’s Desert Tortoise, Costa’s Hummingbird, Gambel’s Quail, Hooded Oriole, House Finch, Mourning Dove, White-Winged Dove

Would work with just one type of pigeon.

The gulls would probably harass the Inca terns and possibly even eat their young, so breeding is a definite no go

In Walsrode, seagulls and terns are kept together, but I don't know whether the terns breed.

Burgers' Zoo houses White-winged doves and Socorro doves (both Zenaida) together just fine, so Mourning doves and White-winged doves should also be fine

Do both species breed together? Breeding Socorro doves have already killed Crimson rosellas.

The Socorro doves have a separate breeding aviary, shared with smaller passerines. I'm not sure if the White-winged doves breed in the main hall

Paignton Zoo had Grey Gulls in with Marbled Teal, Northern Lapwings and Palawan Peacock Pheasants, among other species, and I was told they weren’t at all predaceous on either eggs or chicks

What theme is that aviary?

 

[Dr. Loxodonta]

What theme is that aviary?

It’s just a mix of various bird species, I believe that there is no specific theming.

 

[Mr Gharial]

What theme is that aviary?

"birds"

Would an aviary walkthrough with Egyptian geese, Egyptian plovers, northern bald ibis and sacred ibis work? The northern bald ibis are breeding

The Egyptian geese will tyrannize the Egyptian plovers. The geese and ibises should work.

Are the ibis likely to hybridize?

 

[Mr Gharial]

Are the ibis likely to hybridize?

Doubtful, they're visually very different from each other, and from completely different genuses

What about Nile crocodiles, Egyptian plovers, and nile soft shell turtle

 

[Van Beal]

What about 6?

I've heard of venomous species of snake being mixed together, particularly using different species of green mamba. Not sure if the same circumstances apply here, but if they do it should be fine, given enough space.

For this one, would the Nile crocodiles prey on the other animals?

 

[NNM.]

I hope I’m not interrupting a conversation, but would anything work with a jaguar?

 

[Austin the Sengi]

Without the risk of jaguar-caused casualties, I wouldn’t dare to mix anything with them.

 

[MOG2012]

I hope I’m not interrupting a conversation, but would anything work with a jaguar?

I don’t think any zoo has housed them with another species intentionally

 

[Van Beal]

For this one, would the Nile crocodiles prey on the other animals?

They wouldn’t eat the plovers due to a mutualistic relationship between the two, but a softshell turtle might just end up on the menu for a Nile croc.
