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.

[–] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

They're very beautiful

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

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.

Pigeons are genetically superior to all other birds

[–] Luminocta@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Have you seen their nests..

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 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.

[–] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Both those birds look super weird (positive) and both look uber cool

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.

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.

[–] assyrian@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

cardinals are red and therefore the communists of birds

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.

I know it's a boring choice, but I like the European Robin the best. The reason why is because I see them quite a lot, and they're so lovely. Thanks very glad for asking, and have a nice day comrade.

[–] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thats not boring, robins are pretty cool!!! You have a nice day too 😊😊😊

[–] eraj344@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks very glad comrade.

[–] Hazel@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

The one and only Blåhaj

[–] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Herons and similar: Anhinga, snake-birds.

Herons in particular are just ridiculously graceful, even when fighting each other, it's like they are dancing.
