The jungle tree doesn't fit in, neither the bush. :'( And, maybe you can add some flowers ?

I'd like to build an enclosure for southern ground hornbills.

-Do they need an aviary or can they live in an open enclosure?

-I've read that they live in groups of 5 to 10 birds : So what size approximatively would fit for an enclosure that houses 7 or 8 birds?

-Do they need a particular facilities to nest; if yes, what type?

-Could they share an enclosure with some other animals like African Wild Ass?

-Do these birds need indoor facilities?

Any extra information someone could give me? :)

Thanks by advance for helping me :)
Ground hornbills will need an indoor exhibit depending on the climate your zoo´s located. They can fly, so if you are keeping them in an open topped enclosure their wings should be trimmed. Their nests are like most hornbills, a hole in a tree. I would not recommend keeping them with larger animals like asses, because of their inability to fly due to the trimming of the wings. :)

@fenix: That looks much better. Maybe add a few rocks or variation in ground foliage, it kind of looks like a carpet of flowers now. :)
(Unless of course that's a flower bed, XD)

As my zoo is not located in a tropical climate, I think I'll keep them in a large aviary so that they can fly, and with indoor facilities for when it's a bit too colder for them :)

Could some aardvarks share an enclosure with some bigger animals like antelopes? If they can, which species would be the best? :)

I don't have idea, but pheraps you could keep them with small antelopes like Duikers or Klipspringers.

Ok thanks :) And do you think it would be possible to keep them with bigger antelopes?

I am not sure, nocturnal animals are usually quite shy and they could become stressed by the presence of larger animals.

I like the style, although i don't think those chairs look good outside. Maybe if they were of a lighter color, but to me they look like fancy restaurant tables and chairs that would look better inside.

Thanks!

@ZC I already did change that. These pics are like a month old (the last chance I got to play ZT2) and I think it was bugging me too so I changed it.
