I don't think the first really is a problem, I've seen American bison combined with wapiti and Cape buffalo combined with various antelopes. It would be geographically awkward but should not be a problem.

I don't think the second combo would give problems either, though aye-aye are nocturnal and tapirs are not, so you'd never see them both at the same time. That kind of defeats the purpose of a combo exhibit :P

Stephen Tapirs are very nocturnal, lol.

As for the Saiga/Bison it probably would work, though dunno if I'd risk it irl.

As well about aye ayes and tapirs, there would need to be both relatively open space for the tapirs to roam and lots of arboreal trees and/or structures for aye ayes. It would need to be a large enclosure

Though like Stephen was saying in a large enclosure (and a nocturnal one at that) the aye-ayes could barely be seen which makes the combo useless.

Yes. There shouldn't be any problems. A lot of zoo do this and often add anteaters, maras, tapirs etc. ;)

-Victoria crowned pigeons and Indochinese green peafowl
-Wandering whistling duck, Malayan tapir, Pere David deer, Philippines duck and Indian spot billed duck
-Alagoas curassow and scarlet macaw
- Pygmy hippos and shoebills

I'd say yes for everything but the 2nd one. I could just never see fat little tapirs getting their way with pointy headed deer in their exhibit. And even if the tapir wanted to get away from them in the water, Milu enjoy the water.

Can Scarlet Macaws share a large aviary with other species of tropical birds (such as Pygmy geese, Scarlet ibises, and Victoria Crowned pigeons)?

The first two should be fine; the third would most likely be fine if the cranes had somewhere to get away from the deer.

What animals can share an exhibit with Grevy's Zebras?

Pull my finger!

Grevy's zebras can be kept with other ungulates (preferably those from Africa, such as kudu, wildebeest, giraffe, etc.). Zoo Miami keeps their lone Grevy's zebra with their Plains zebras though there's a chance of hybridization unless the individual is either castrated or infertile. Ostrich can also live with Grevy's as well. Some zoos combine Grevy's zebras with White rhinos, just be sure to give both enough space :)
