I really can't think of anything, just given their nature.

@Paleop-Any herbivorous animal, preferably an ornithopod, that isn't very aggressive and is too big for the Microraptors to eat. Also it's best that the animal can fit in an aviary as Microraptor is good at climbing and probably spent some time gliding.

Okay, my zoo is beginning to get full, so I need some new combinations ;)

Would this work?

1) Warthog, Banded Mongoose (not breeding) and Ground Hornbill (not breeding)
2) Cuvier's Gazelle, Ostrich, Scimitar Oryx and Topi or any other kind of Hartebeest.

In my zoo, I added capuchins to my lemur exhibit because I hadn't built one for the capuchins yet and they seem to be fine together but would it be okay to add another species of capuchin or lemur in too

In real life, both lemurs and capucins can be quite bullies. I would build a nice, single-species enclosue for your capucins and, depending how many lemurs you already have in your first enclosure and hat are the sspecies, I might add one.

Capuchins are regarded as some of the most aggressive New World Monkeys around, I wouldn't combine them in any sort of combined exhibit (unless they're single capuchins of different species living together).

@ Papageno: The first one should work, though unsure about the Ground Hornbill being with the Mongooses.

The hoofstock are fine, just make sure the enclosure is large enough.

@Papageno: Mongoose and warthog works, but I'm not sure about the hornbills, can be be quite aggressive.
To the second, the gazelles, ostrich and oryx would work, about harbeests I would be careful with them, but maybe you just can add the hornbills there?

@caseyalex211: As rhe others said, that isn't a really good combination. Capuchin can be combined with tapirs for example, I once also seen one with capybaras and anteaters. In my local zoo they were keep toghether with red-footed turtles and black-necked swans.

Primates should never really be kept together unless there is a large size difference (Gorillas and Guerezas, Orangutans and Gibbons), both species are passive and harmless (Tamarins and Marmosets), or both species are very similar to each other (Lemur Species).

Capuchins and Lemurs is just about the worst combination I could think of. Apart from them not even coming from remotely the same region or climate, they'd do nothing but fight over food and attack each other in real life.

What could I keep in combination with Palawan Peacock Pheasants? I want to build an aviary, but I don't want them to be all alone :(

All sorts of birds. I've seen them mixed with a LOT of different species, from Greater Malay Argus to Bar-headed Geese to Scarlet Macaws to Fairy Bluebirds, hahaha.

Just don't put relatively aggressive species in.

Ok... Thanks for the quick replies. I'll start building as soon as I get a chance.

Mixed vulture exhibit, like an all-african-species or all-asian-one, is it a good idea? I have seen it before, but have not read any stories about it being a good or bad idea. What do you say?

I've seen Hooded, Lappet Faced, and Egyptian Vultures all combined. I think Asian or African would work tbh.
