Aviary Build Guide

Quick answer: An aviary in Planet Zoo 2 is a customisable enclosure built from barriers, support poles and a mesh cover. Birds need real flyable space, and suitable aviaries can be made walk-through for guests. Exact build specifications are not published in a shared Frontier list.

Confirmed aviary components

Frontier has confirmed these pieces for the series' first flying-bird system:

Walls / barriers — the enclosure perimeter
Support poles — structural frame for the covering
Covering / mesh — the roof that keeps birds in
3D navigation — birds fly in full 3D, so height and volume matter
Natural perching — birds perch on suitable structures
Walk-through aviaries — guests can enter suitable aviaries, a series first

How to build an aviary (the confirmed steps)

Lay out the barrier walls
Add support poles for the frame
Add a mesh covering to close it off
Provide perching plus enough flyable area (height and floor space)
Make it walk-through if the species and safety conditions allow

The in-game UI path for each step isn't published yet — these are the confirmed concepts, not a click-by-click walkthrough.

What's still waiting

Flyable area requirements, nesting, per-species size and height, and mixed-aviary compatibility all live in the in-game Zoopedia.

Common problems to watch (launch-validate, not verified fixes)

bird not flying
not enough flyable area
bird escaping
bird stressed
aviary roof problem

These are queued for launch validation — verified causes and fixes get published only after testing.
