Why isn't the African Penguin on this list?

The African Penguin is a bird, but Frontier classifies it as Habitat – Terrestrial. The Secretarybird and Shoebill are both classified as Habitat – Flying. Go by the game's category when planning an enclosure.

Can these birds share an aviary?

Frontier says some birds can share a habitat with other birds or terrestrial animals, but it depends on the species. This does not mean any two birds on this list can live together. Check each bird's Zoopedia entry in the game before you add a companion.

What to check before building

Each bird needs a certain amount of flying space, and birds need suitable nesting sites to breed. The aviary building guide explains how roofs, Flyable Area and nest types work.
