Would it be possible to house elegant trogon, california quails and cactus wrens together in the same aviary? I have an idea for it and I just want to make sure that it is possible. |

I don't see what's wrong with that. I guess you could do it. I would pick another species to replace the trogon though but that's just a personal thing. |

Could green, iguana, green jay and green-headed tanagers live together. |

I think it is possible, but Jays will eat eggs and chicks if they have the chance to, so go with a non breeding group of tanagers. Iguanas… Why don't you go for a smaller lizard species, ex. Basilic? |

I've seen iguana in a combination that was similar. |

I would say Iguanas would lend themselves better to such a combination because they are large, slow-moving herbivores. They very likely won't be able to harm the birds and they're big enough not to be too bothered by them. Uolym is right in that the Jays will eat eggs and chicks of tanagers, so they would likely not breed in this combination. (Even if you have a potential breeding group, they probably won't get to nesting with the Jays around) |

I'll move the jays out. Motmots wouldn't be much better, would they? |

Depends of the motmot you are using, Momotus motmots are voracious birds who will most likely try to eat the tanagers themselves, there are even records of motmots eating wild possums so i dont think its a good idea, if you want a big colorful bird for you aviary, try some kind of trogon or quetzal, they are way more peaceful than motmots. |

It was Momotus coeruliceps. So I'll make a separate exhibit |

You can always go with a mixed-species flock of tanagers too, it would be beautiful to see them all together. Bullfinches, Mexican Yellow and Blue Grosbeaks are also good choices. |

I know that mixing large hornbills with smaller birds is usually not a god idea, but could it work with a largely terrestrial bird as a pheasant or partridge? |

Can the following birds share an aviary- Victoria Crowned Pigeon Lawes's Parotia Ornate Fruit Dove Ribbon Tailed Astrapia Red Bird-of-paradise Scarlet Ibis Scarlet Macaw Blue-Bellied Roller African Pygmy Goose Mandarin Duck Green Iguana Brown-Throated Sloth I know most of these wouldn't live together in the wild, but could they peacefully share an aviary? |

The rather cantankerous macaws might be a bit of a risk with fragile birds of paradise, but otherwise I think it could work. |

If you want macaws I would go for Hahn's macaws. They are nicer than other species and are basically just big parakeets. |
