I've actually only seen Grevy's with Ostrich; all zebra species/subspecies except maybe Grant's are known to be aggressive towards other animals and precautions should be taken into consideration.

The Grevy's zebras at Detroit are kept alone for this reason actually

I've seen all three species of Zebra combined with everything from gazelles to giraffes; if you have a reasonable amount of space, you should be fine with just about anything.

A weird random guy.

Can I mix Orinoco Geese, Scarlet Ibis, and Roseate Spoonbills?

The combo should be fine. Spoonbills and ibis along with waterfowl are commonly kept together in captivity.

I'm not slow! That's just my moe!

Normally I'd be cautious mixing geese with ibis and spoonbills and only do so in very large areas, but Orinoco geese are small enough not to worry about.

What kind of birds should I use for an Australian Aviary? Australian Bush Turkeys and Kookaburras maybe?

Depends, Kookaburra are notoriously aggressive and killing machine with smaller birds. However, with bigger or same size birds occupying a different niche, it shouldn't be a problem. Also non-breeding species.

Edit with species suggestions :

Australian Brushturkey, Australian waterfowls, Australian Bustard, Eclectus, Cockatoos, Rosellas, King Parrot and other medium to big parrots, Lyrebirds (probably), Frogmouths, White-headed Pigeon, Emerald Dove and some Fruit doves (maybe, especially terrestrial ones), Little Pied Shag, Ibises, Black-necked Stork, Brolga, Masked Lapwing and other lapwings, big cuckoos species, Blue-headed Honeyeater, etc.

1. Yes
2. Not sure about the hirola since they've never been kept in captivity. Wouldn't do the ground hornbills either, unless it's an aviary.
3. Should be fine
4. I think that's fine too, not sure how you'd keep the birds in though
5. Yes
6. I doubt it, plus they're from completely different habitats.
7. Probably
8. Yes
9. Not 100% sure, but should work if you provide the deer with enough possibilities to get away from the wisent
10. Yes
11. Yes
12. Yes
13. No idea to be honest.

The last one should work without the Brazilian merganser as they are too rare

I would not recommend Hirolas + Giant Sables; Hirolas are fragile and Sables rather agressive, and they're from completely different places and habitats.
Cocks-of-the-Rock can be aggressive and might bully smaller species around food, so make sure you have plenty of feeding opportunities.

Last should work, I've seen almost identical combinations before. It would be a large complex though, with lots of arboreal areas, water areas and roaming land for the brockets
