What about giant anteaters or Baird's tapir?

That will work perfectly
Central American agouti
Nine-banded armadillo
Red-footed tortoise
Plains chacalaca
Crested bobwhite
Spotted paca
Black spiny-tailed iguana
Great tinamou
Black guan
Baird's tapir (if the enclosure is large enough)
Also a bunch of turtles and wading birds if you add a water area
Guam rails could also be kept together with White-throated ground dove, Mariana fruit dove, Guam kingfisher or Rota white-eye

Such as which ones?
Southern Lapwings?
Jacanas?
Plovers?(which species?)
Ibisbills?
That should be fine
I think the pronghorns might trample or trip over the tunnels. I also think the mountain plovers would be in danger from the pronghorns
I usually use ZTL (Zootierliste lists all vertebrate animals in European zoos and if they're kept in Mixed enclosures), but there's also some mixed exhibit lists available (Such as: Mixed Species Resources — AZA Ungulates)
Orangs are mixed with malyan tapirs and smal clawed otters
The bears ae a thraed for both deer and hornbill

Could a very large Baltic aviary (not walkthrough) with
Great crested grebe
Eurasian great cormorant
Great bittern
Barnacle goose
Whooper swan
Mallard
Eurasian coot
Common gull
Common tern
Bearded reedling
Eurasian penduline tit
Reed bunting
Great reed warbler
Barn swallow
White wagtail
work?

In theory at least, all species would work besdies the gull (they could predete on smale birds), And the swan could also be to aggrasive to many of the smalerbirds. The bittern, besides being practicly no existent in captivity, may be to stressed out by the other birds.
Another problem wouldbe that in particular Great reed warbler don't exist in captivity, and I don't know how they would live in the aviary. And you sholdn't use mallards, there are many duck species like Ferruginous ducks, Eurasian teals, Common pochards or
Northern shovelers. It would make no sense to keep a species which lives in every wetland area, that can be seen in every city that has no problems adapting to humans, but not he many diffrent and rarer duck species

So if I exclude the gulls and the swans it would work?
Really? The bear is a threat for the hornbill? I saw that they eat honet,insects and smaller birds,rodent etc
