Tell me your favorite bird and why its your favorite bird in the comments.
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.
They do look very cool
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.
They're very beautiful
Mine is the black capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus). I like them because they are very cute and fluffy.

So cute!
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.

POV: You are about to be tackled and devoured by a nuthatch.
Nuthatches are so quirky, always hopping around on walls and hanging upside down.
Pigeons are genetically superior to all other birds
Have you seen their nests..
Yes, efficient engineering marvels that can be constructed literally anywhere. They also have a built-in shit guidance system so it lands directly on your head or food.
I like catbirds because their call is so damn ridiculous I can't help but smile every time I hear it
either the Common Raven or North American Crow... honestly any corvid
cockatiel - I have one and I love her very much
runner-up: cardinals
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.
Both those birds look super weird (positive) and both look uber cool
any kind of beaver they def maoists
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.
The bald eagle due to its power and majesty.
Bald eagles are cool but have you ever heard what they sound like? Shame that they're claimed by burger land as official bird tho.
I would like them more if the burger reich didnt use them as symbols in its civic religion
The classic red Cardinal, male or female. They sometimes hang out in my yard and their song is so great.
cardinals are red and therefore the communists of birds
My pet cockatiel made me appreciate birds more in general so I’ll give it to cockatiels
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.
It definitely tried to shit on your head.
Dodo bird!
Runner up: Raven.
Both great birds!!!
I like the mourning dove because it has a nice voice https://youtu.be/AOZmkZ72ISI?si=1frvs9MPk_rd4wPU
Sunbird. They have pretty voices and come in SO MANY COLOURS
Herons and similar: Anhinga, snake-birds.
Herons in particular are just ridiculously graceful, even when fighting each other, it's like they are dancing.
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.
