I don't have one.

I like ducks. That's pretty much it. I have a huge fear of birds, particularly pigeons, seagulls and crows.

Great Blue Heron

I like them all nearly equally though I'm especially partial to parrots of all kinds, seagulls and other waterbirds, crows, ducks, chickens, and hummingbirds.

American Kestrel

male peacocks are beautiful. So are peach-faced lovebirds. Swans are lovely and I've heard they mate for life, which sounds romantic.

Swans

I love birds. My favourite one is eagle (Bald Eagle, especially).



I also find capercaillies very amusing.


I like carrion crows, too.

All of them!! I love birds.

A dead one (usually on the table at Thanksgiving)

Smoked Duck!

A Conscience?

Male cocks are the best!!

Hummingbird wings are made out of fibers from a rainbow

Roast duck!

Hawk

I never really thought about it. Maybe sparrows. Lovebirds are cool, as are wax eyes, finches, canaries, budgies, herons, ducks.. I really like eagles, too. I guess, overall, I'd have to say eagles.

A dead pigeon. I hate those flying rats.

That's not a very nice pic

Well, pigeons are not very nice birds.

NZ pigeons are

What a cool description. They're such beautiful little guys.

Why?

I guess I've simply never had a problem with them. Why don't you like them? I love going to a park and feeding pigeons and sparrows.

There are way too many of them where I live, they crap on EVERYTHING, they spread diseases, they make annoying noises and they are plain stupid and ugly.

Hmmm... Well, we're not totally overrun with them, which helps! I know nothing of the diseases they spread, but every animal has the potential to spread diseases (cats = worms, dogs = rabies, etc). I like the sounds they make, although I agree that they're not the smartest cookies in the cookie jar! But I don't think they're ugly, I think pigeons are pretty. I especially like the way their necks move when they walk, kinda like "walk like an Egyptian"

Peacock

Big Bird

I like them all.

I'm not sure i have a favorite.

I like Mourning Doves, which are similar to pidgeons (pidgeons are Rock Doves, I believe). The sounds they make are cool.

You mean cooooooool.

i love the woodpeckers in my yard. we have about 3 different types.

Penguin

..and ravens

Any of them without the West Nile Virus!

Canadian Geese are like that in our neighborhood.

But with pigeons, it's like that in larger cities in the US.

There's actually a Blue Heron restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.

Then again there's also a restaurant there named "The Horny Toad" LOL and "The Salty Dog"

I know, pidgeons scare the crap out of me. They're everywhere, and always in a huge flock. They seem like they're going to fly on to me and run their dirty infected feathers all over my face.

the one I just ate?

Raven

Stellar Jay
They are pretty, and also fun to watch because they're kind of goofy. We like to watch them in our backyard trying to fit as many peanuts in their beaks as they can.

The Kookaburra (because of it's awesome laugh that is used in some American movies when they want to make southern CA seem like the Congo)


The Rainbow Lorikeet


The Ibis (mainly because they eat the spiders out of my yard)

I don't have a favorite!

Hey you ever been to Big Dick's Half-Way In, and done any minnow shots? Theres also a little place called Quackers, and I've been to the places you named too. Theres alot of good places down on the Lake of the Ozarks.

No, never been to Big Dicks, but it sounds like a a strip joint. LOL Maybe it's on the strip.

Its just a bar and its righ on the water, you just pull up and park the boat.

Her you go check out this site.

real or fictional.....real, have more than one...hummingbird, peacock, owls, hawks and falcons....fictional, the phoenix and thunderbird.

There are tons of wonderful types of birds - can't decide. The Quetzal? Harlequin ducks? Big Bird?

mandy

my favorite birds that come to my bird feeder are blue jays even though they're loud and messy, they're pretty cool birds. I'm sure I'd have a different favorite bird if I lived somewhere tropical, but living in an apartment in Wisconisn, blue jays are as good as they get for me.

You are so sweet

You have cool birds! (But you can keep those big nasty spiders.)

Brisbane City Council is trying to get rid of the ibis from the centre city. They grab food off people. I don't have spiders in my lawn because of them. They can scare them all my way.

Birds can be annoying in public places, but it's probably because people feed them and encourage them to come around. Then it gets out of hand. I've had seagulls and pigeons poop on my head, which is not fun, especially when you're away from home for the day. So, I'm more wary now. I won't sit under power lines or other perching places, and I tend to cover my head if I notice a bird flying over, but I don't really blame the birds. There's a park on a lake in Seattle that has a problem with too many Canadian geese. I guess the park is covered in bird droppings and not a nice place for people anymore, so they even resorted to gassing the birds. I thought that was terrible.

That's a bit drastic. The BCC is using a falcon to scare away pigeons and ibis. None are killed.

Flamingo. I just think they look really funny.

Penguin. they can't fly, they can swim, they live in an ice-world, they have furry babies and they look bizarre when they walk. gotta love 'em.

The Bald Eagle. That and my middle finger.

An interesting combination!

red bird

I really don't have one. I was in the Eagles team (house) at primary school, so maybe I'll go with that. Our colour was blue - there were also the Owls (yellow), Kestrels (green) and Vultures (red). The boys used to like being the Owls because that was the nickname of our local football team. Kids in the same family were always in the same team because we got points for bringing in recycleables and the teachers didn't want to be the source of family feuds! Once a week, people would bring in stuff for recycling and put it in the dining room - there was one table set aside for each team. Then two kids in the older classes would come out and weigh it all - points were awarded to each team for certain quantities. We also got teampoints for good work, good behaviour and good effort in PE. At the end of the year, "Oughti Bear" (a white teddy) was crowned witha woolly hat in the colour of the team that had the most teampoints. There was also a second bear that was crowned according to the results of sports day.

I once got ten teampoints in one go (a huge amount!!!) for writing to the Queen to ask if there were cellars at Buckingham Palace and getting a reply (from a lady-in-waiting, not the actual Queen!) in which my question wasn't answered at all No wonder I'm an anti-monarchist!
