I don't know much about birds, but there are magpies here that like to explore my backyard often and I find them really beautiful and majestic. I guess they are my favourite right now.

    Mine is the black capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus). I like them because they are very cute and fluffy.

    Redwinged Blackbird

    Move in groups. Kick ass coloration, inky black everywhere except a patch on the "shoulder" of their wings thats something like red/yellow.

    Shoebill storks are awesome. I like how big they are and the awesome sounds they make. I enjoy their mysterious and sometimes ominous appearance and behaviors. Sometimes they seem really friendly and silly too!

    The Eurasian nuthatch is my favorite because it often walks down tree trunks, upside down while facing the ground.

    And I have to give an honorable mention to Bulwer's pheasants for obvious reasons.

    I really love birds, so it's hard to choose one. So I'll choose two.

    Here we have the Anu-Preto, it looks like an angry chibi crow.

    And also the Biguá, which looks like something out of a dinosaur movie. But don't be fooled, he's tiny.

    But all birds are beautiful, specially weirdo tropical birds.

    I like the wood pigeon. It has a nice voice that sounds really chill. I associate it with waking up on camping trips. I also like the way they look. Unlike feral pigeons, they are more shy and don't go near humans that much, but one time while I was collecting some trash in the park one followed me and came 15 cm close to me.

    The classic red Cardinal, male or female. They sometimes hang out in my yard and their song is so great.

    I just like birds in general. I’ve interacted with a lot of unique birds over my life, and they’re all smart as fuck. Even my dumbass rooster.

    Rooks. They're the right blend of creepy/ugly/cute.

    I love the Q-q'qs, one of the few animals intelligent enough to talk and despite being purely wild animals you can make friends with one.
