Species compatibility

Hello,

I am in the process of building an aviary/habitat in our home in Las Vegas, NV. The aviary will be glass enclosed and climate controlled, and will be 21’W x 17’ D x 20’H. It will contain a 7’ x 14’ pond with a drinking and bathing area for the birds. We will be growing a Glenn Mango tree, a Navel Orange tree, Bananas, Papayas and Passion Fruit in the habitat. The habitat will be home to tropical fish, red eared sliders and a pair of Mediterranean Spur Thigh tortoises.

We would like to include a pair of each of the following bird species in the aviary, and would like your advice about species compatibility:

Golden-Hooded Tanager
Summer Tanager
Blue-Gray Tanager
Green Honeycreeper
Red-Legged Honeycreeper
Elegant Euphonia
Yellow-Crowned Euphonia
Cockatiel
American Singer Canary
Gambel’s Quail
And Wood Duck

I appreciate any advice and suggestions you can provide. I look forward to your reply.

Thank you,
