If I take out the Scarlet Macaws, could I add Golden Parakeets and Rainbow Lorikeets? |

Would Chinese pangolins work with Reeve's muntjacs? Alternately, what could either of those two species be housed with in a mixed exhibit? |

@TheToastinator : I think the Lorikeets would be ok, maybe just small flock of them though. Not sure about the Golden Conure, you sure read on them. @Cowrie : Muntjacs are quite easy to mix with other deer species, pheasants, cranes or free-flying birds in a roofed aviary. However, pangolins are really tricky to keep. We only start to understand their husbandry, so I highly doubt they are fit for mixed-species exhibits just yet. |

What about Indian muntjacs with a binturong, would that be okay? I'm really wanting the visual of the small deer with an arboreal mammal. |

@Dylan : yeah, but Green Peafowl would make more sense geographically speaking. @Cowrie : Nice link for Viverrids (including binturong keeping) : https://www.aza.org/assets/2332/viverridcaremanual2010ar.pdf Tufted Deer was a successful mix but not the Muntjacs, however it seems the problem was more between the langurs and the binturongs in the same exhibit than related to the muntjacs. |

I'm not sure about this one: Bactrian camel, Przewalski's wild horse (or kiang) and goitered gazelle? |

Plzen had the same combo (using kiangs) circa 2010 . I believe they now only have goitered gazelle and bactrian camels combined . |

However when they are having calfs you shouldn't let the male Bacterian camel with the Przwalski's horse. In Blijdorp once the male camel killed a horse which came too close to a camel calf. |

Thanks for the information, KoenZoo, I could seperate the male camel when their are camel calves or I just keep a female group of camels. ![]() The thing is that Hamburg tried this combination with kulans instead of the horses or the kiangs but it didn't work because the male kulan was too aggressive. But it's probably because of that fact that kulans usually are more aggressive than other equids. But that was why I was asking. Edited by Jony, Dec 13 2016, 02:19 PM.

Um, is this topic only for living animals, or can it be for extinct or mythical/cryptic animals? |

Extinct animals are allowed, tho don't expect informations as detailed as with living animals. Cryptids/magic animals aren't, they are imaginary anyway so they don't have to follow average schemes like living animals. |
