Here you will find an extensive, more or less complete list of Japanese birds.

I think the digging behavior of the mongoose might pose a trip hazard for the ungulates, at the very least for the ibex.

What about the guineafowl? If I eliminate the ibex and klipspringer, would it work?

Assuming you don't intend to breed the guineafowl, I think it should be okay.
This one could work, depending on the design. Although I personally wouldn't trust the Dwarf mongoose and guineafowl together.
It would be much better if you removed the mongoose. If you really want the mongoose in there, it could work if you create the enclosure with a lot of rockwork. This forces the mongoose to create their tunnels between the rocks, where it wouldn't bother the ibex and klipspringer all that much.
This one should be fine

The motmots will eat eat the lizards and possibly the toads, but that may not be an issue if they're breeding.

The white-bellied parrots are aggressive towards smaller birds.

The exhibit would be filled with all kinds of plants, with several small streams, pools, and tree hollows inaccessible to the birds, so the toads and anoles would be allowed to breed. There would also be several bird feeders with fruit/mealworms and the like to occupy the birds.The white-bellied parrots are now confined to a small separate aviary at the entrance of Rainforest World.
This should work.
I’d argue otherwise, not only is there a hybridization risk between both species of oryx. You are also dealing with a species (in this case, the Arabian Oryx) infamous for being behaviorally aggressive to other individuals of their own kind, not to mention other species in past mixes.
If I were @MOG2012, I would remove the oryxes entirely and focus exclusively on the remaining species.
Interesting, I stand corrected. I've seen Arabian Oryx in mixes before, and seen multiple oryx species in mixes before, but iirc neither of those exist anymore. Guess there's a reason why...

It may probably be fine, if there's a separated paddock for the Zebras and the mothers/newborns Antelopes.
How bad of an idea is it to have crocodiles (Morelets) in the moat of an island for spider monkeys? Yes, I am aware that the crocodiles can eat the monkeys, but given adequate climbing space and raised shelters, will the monkeys ever be near the water enough to be at risk?
This is a really bad idea.
