I am interested in co-owning the pride!
I have two thoughts, not sure if they are suggestions per-se. First... it would be nice if there was a way to par down the member list to those still here and active. A reason for a parting of ways with some, whether they got lost, disappeared, whatever. A way to leave it open-ended so those owners could come back and write what happened and bring their characters back or move them on, what-have-you.
Second, the pride could use a fresh purpose, a new focus, besides birds. Something perhaps that involves both lions and birds somehow? Just a thought.
A few ideas concerning my first thought, a plot that would allow a separation of old, inactive characters from the active ones... what if that landslide closed off one part of the pride's lands from another? Though I guess then they'd have the birds to check on each other... but that still could be done without the parted groups being able to reunite for a while. It could be that NPCs were verified on the other side, perhaps scattered, and the stretch between made impossible to traverse. So it'd require a long trek to finally rejoin the active half of the pride? It would allow owners to return and decide if their character died in the landslide, took their time finding their way back around to the rest of them, or decided to strike off on their own and just never came back.
Meanwhile those left on the active side could pick up the pieces and move along. I do like the idea of Option B. It would lend some legitimacy to the new rulers without a lot of fuss.

It wouldn't be a "We're going to cram you into a box where everyone is the same" kind of thing, just identifying dominant/defining personality trait(s) and using them to assign the most suitable companion. And, again, there will always be crossover, since no one is one-dimensional - such as someone who's intelligent (a raven trait) but also a daredevil (a hawk trait) as well as full of themselves (an eagle trait) - so in a lot of cases there will be more than one possible appropriate match, which will be part of where the seers come in to decide which is best (and the birds are their own individuals as well, so this hypothetical lion could be given a vain raven - or a humble one to bring him down a notch).
It wouldn't determine what ranks they can take, but it would likely be more common to see certain pairings in certain professions than others (someone with a generic template avian - ie non-predatory avian generally associated with peaceful, free-spirited types - would have traits that make them less likely to want a military rank, for instance).
OOCly, this could be handled by having a form for owners to fill out for their characters, describing personality, motivations, etc., and the pride owners determining what bird to give them from there. (We could have a pool of premade birds to distribute as necessary.)
tl;dr sort of a combination of Hogwarts house-sorting and Pern dragon-matching.
