^Yeah, but even with large hoofstock? The eagles would have elevated paths (and trees) to nest on, so the hoofstock has no chance of disturbing the nests. Or I could just make a part of the aviary inaccessible to the hoofstock by placing a fence? Large tortoises are a good idea, I think. |

I disagree. When they have numbers on their side, small birds tend to mob hawks and eagles. They'd drive the eagles bonkers in an enclosed space. |

Vultures can be combined with large artiodacyla, if the vultures are clipped and not large enough to attack a young. Antwerp Zoo had a Vulture with their Bongo for a long while It used to sit in that awkward branch in the middle of the Bongo exhibit all the time. However this is quite an old practice, I don't believe many zoos still do it today as clipped vultures seem to be easily bored (Can we blame them?), and non-clipped vultures have the potential of attacking the young, and obviously need to be kept in aviaries.

True, I had forget about that. I once seen a mob of grackles chasing a Bald Eagle from a tree. It was quite a sight to see. The poor eagle was bigger than all of them together, and still it did not stand a chance! ![]() Edited by Uolym, Jan 17 2015, 02:47 PM.

Ohhh, I remember that vulture, I always felt so sorry for him because he couldn't fly ![]() Are you certain that they were there together with a bongo? There's one in that enclosure now (I think 3 actually), but I always thought there were just the vultures, no bongos. Anyway, I'd rather not have clipped birds of prey. |

There's only one in that enclosure at the moment, a single Male I believe, but there was a larger group of them together with the vulture at one point.

Well, maybe a solitary eagle would be ok with unguates, but not a mated pair. Nestinh eagles can easily chase away reindeers, mooses, buffalos, humans.. Also, I think it would depend on the eagle's temper. Maybe you should go with smaller Eagle or Vulture... King Vulture or Turkey Vulture with American Ungulates (Desert Bighorns for example for the Turkey V.). Edited by Uolym, Jan 17 2015, 02:53 PM.

A zoo I've been to kept turkey vultures with ringtail lemurs in the same aviary. |

I don't know if eagles can be keept together with other animals, but bearded vultures can be keept together with ibex, bald ibis and also with snow hares. Different vulture species can be keept together easy. |

^ yeah that's because Lammergeier prey on well... bones. I wouldn't risk a non-clipped eagle with any sort of hoofstock, that's just asking to get young injured. However, I have seen vultures (wild Turkey Vultures and clipped Egyptian and Cinerous Vultures) with even things small as gazelles, so I think these would work. I do like the idea of a nice tall rocky thing with hoofstock below, that would be the best way to not have either stressed out. |

I am looking for asiatic ground dwelling birds to add to a walkthrough aviary housing Blue-crowned and Melodious Laughingtrush, Asian Fairy-bluebird, Nutmeg Finch, White-rumped Munia and possible Little Green Pigeon and Java Sparrow. Roul-roul would be perfect but are not available and i do not want too agressive pheasants. Any idea? |

I'm not sure how aggressive pheasants can be, but those are small birds that can easily stay away from them, so I don't see a problem. Perhaps mandarine ducks ? |

Since it is a walkthrough aviary, i was more afraid for the guests. Males Reeves's Pheasant for example are crazy birds. But i could build a little pond for the Mandarin, i got plenty of them already! :p |

It used to sit in that awkward branch in the middle of the Bongo exhibit all the time.
