Species you'd like to see in the UK?

I'll go through all non-mammals now I have a bit of time, gonna be difficult to choose through all of this but will try and narrow it down :p

Northern cassowary
[any kiwi species]
[Every penguin species we don't have :p]
Blue-billed curassow
Blyth's tragopan
[any woodpecker species]
Spix's macaw
California condor
Kori bustard
Whooping crane
Siberian crane
Black-faced spoonbill
Japanese crested ibis
Kagu
Shoebill
[any bird of paradise species]
Wallcreeper
Yellow-billed oxpecker

Gharial
Chinese or Japanese giant salamander
Hellbender

Not going to state too many reptiles, as a lot will most likely be in the UK privately [not that mammals and birds won't, but some of them are much less likely].

Of those, I'd most like to see the Gharial, Hellbender, Kagu and Kiwi.
 
I would like to see in England a world class polar bear exhibit, an indoor one, with large swimming areas and temperature control.

Also not a new species, but a large walk through Parrot enclosure, a large tropical house type building

Apart from the lorikeet walk-throughs, I think the desert house at Paignton is the closest you'll get (hooded & Bourke's parrakeets - plus other birds, reptiles and guinea pigs). Most parrots are too destructive to vegetation and too aggressive to each other - plus some are potentially dangerous to visitors.

On the subject of parrots, I'd like to see more lories in general and the solitary lory in particular.
