@Admiral Woops! I guess I put the wrong word in there. It has been a long day :P

Also, would Aoudad (Barbary Sheep) be able to live peacefully with anything like a dromedary camel or yak or mouflon? Because I would like to house some aoudad with one of those three species.

I guess that would be fine, in a wildlife park in Bahrain they kept Pygmy Goats and Dromedaries together.

What would go well with Key Deer? Given that deer are very skittish animals, I'm guessing very small animals like gamebird are the best choice?

I'd suggest some kind of pheasant in with the Key Deer, since they are small than the deer, it would give them the sense that they are the bigger animal in the enclosure, and make them more confident and move around more and show themselves to the public more.

What pheasant lives in the southern part if Florida?

Being such a fragile subspecies I wouldn't combine anything with them. I suppose you could do wood storks or cattle egrets but that's really about all.

While maybe not all of these are sympatric, I've found some birds of Florida that might actually fit with them.
Roseate spoonbill, glossy ibis, scarlet ibis, American avocet and fulvous whistling duck, for example.
If you're willing to make an aviary, there's the blue jay, Florida scrub jay, Eurasian turtle dove, etc.
There's also a few exotic species in Florida, some of which might fit with key deer as well (Mandarin duck, blue peafowl)

They've been housed with bottlenose dolphins without too much trouble. Nevertheless, I would not recommend doing this, as it's already more than hard enough to keep orcas on their own, let alone keeping them together with another species that needs intensive care. In addition to that, it probably causes a lot of extra stress to both species, not to mention the fact that dolphins are part of an orca's menu.

However, it is possible to have orcas co-perform in shows with belugas and other dolphin species (most commonly bottlenose dolphins and Pacific-white sided dolphins) while keeping both species in separate enclosures both connected to the same show tank. I don't really think this is necessary but if you really want to show orcas along with another species, this is the most viable option.

Any combos of birds and/or monkeys from Florida, Central America, Northern South America, and/or the Caribbean that can be in a walk-through exhibit?

Many species of ducks, parrots and ibises are commonly kept in walkthrough aviaries

Artis in Amsterdam has a walkthrough with these animals:

-Grey-handed night monkey
-Pygmy marmoset
-Northern tree-shrew
-Linnaeus' two-toed sloth
-Seba's short-tailed bat
-Rodriguez flying fox
-New Guinea ground cuscus
-Northern glider

-Green iguana
-Little owl
-Argus pheasant
-Edward's pheasant


And probably some other stuff I'm forgetting right now, definitely another lizard, I'm thinking Water dragon but I could be wrong.

Apenheul also combines many species of (lion) tamarins and marmosets in a walkthrough exhibit, iirc.

Pull my finger!

Guans, curassows, squirrel monkeys, and tamandua can work as well (though tamanduas obviously aren't birds or monkeys). If you want a reptile zing then Red or Yellow footed tortoises can work as well. And as Vision mentioned, iguanas.

I'd have to say for a combo for them maybe scarlet ibis, white faced whistling duck, roseate spoonbill, some larger passerines, maybe a macaw species although amazons would be better. Currasows could be added depending on what general ecosystem you're trying to recreate

Oh, then there's also London Zoo, that has a South-American exhibit that isn't exactly a walkthrough but technically anything except for the Armadillos can get on the pathways.

It has Southern tamanduas, Two-toed sloths, Emperor tamarins, Knobbed hornbills, Big hairy armadillos, and then some random small South-American passerines.

I think both ruffed shouldn't be kept together because of inbreeding issues.
