If you also have a big enough pool, then you can add fish. Also you can have some larger birds like egrets, parrots, etc. as long as they have ample space to get away. |

Could I add Australian King Parrot to the previous bird combo I had? Also could I combine Australian Brushturkey, Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Electus Parrot, Red-winged Parrot, and Blue-winged Kookaburra in a walk-through exhibit? |

1st : Yes you can, but those birds do best in pairs in general. Be sure you do not have other King Parrot in the exhibit. 2nd : All species, but Cockatoo are tricky… You could have a calm, gentle individual or and very aggressive one… With Cacatua Cockatoos, its usually the behavior of each individual rather than the species general behavior that counts. Other trick would be to keep in its own aviary in the big walkthrough or keep its flight feathers trimmed (and give it its own section full of logs, branches, ropes and perches) so it does not fly away to harass other birds.

Can somebody tell me if it is safe to combine Proboscis monkeys with Orangutans? |

Proboscis monkeys are already very difficult to have in captivity, so keeping them with other animals would probably not work. I'm just being safe though with this situation. |

Adding to what Consultant said, both animals are "special"/unique enough to have their own separate exhibits. |

Adding on to both of them for more reasoning both are large primates that enjoy their space very much so there may be territorial disputes between them |

But the combination of Orangutan and Siamang is a well common known combination (which are even bigger in size). But I went to separate them. I already have the Siamang/Sumatran Orangutan combination so the Borneo Orangutan will have his own exhibit. Also for people who would like to combine something with African Elephants, today in Ouwehands Dierenpark (Netherlands) I saw the combination of the Elephants with Red River Hogs. They could roam free between the female and male perk and also had their own space. Maybe nice for those who would have a realistic combination with African Forest Elephants. |

Not only red river hogs can live together with African elephants. Beekse Bergen keeps them together with baboons and Boras even has a combination of African bush elephant, zebra, eland antelope, ostrich, giraffe, cape buaffalo and maybe more small antelope and bird species. And Basel plans to keep cheetahs and their elephant bull together in the new enclosure that is currently under construction. Edited by Jony, Jul 13 2016, 10:10 AM.

Yes I have even seen them being combined with Rhinos and Giraffes at the same time (believed it was an American zoo). But I never thought to see such small mammels being held together with the heavy giants. Also a question, can Sulawesi Bear Cuscus being held together with non-flying birds and can they be held in a walkthrough aviary? |

That's a difficult question since there are just two current holdings of this speceis in Europe at the moment but I'd say yes to the birds. But I'm not sure about keeping them in a walkthrough aviary, they are very rare.
