:D Nibbles is technically a wild bird. He was layed in the wild. He has to be both my favorite "wild " bird and domestic bird. I just love to watch the ducks and geese raise their young. They have swim practice twice a day like clockwork. They march them to and from the lake with mom in front and Dad bringing up the rear watching for stragglers. It's sooooooo cute.

What a great question, Jynelle! :) I must say that I love them all, and pray that they will be safe and stay away from my Butter cat!! I don't encourage them to come into my yard because of the cats, but I love seeing the little yellow finches in the spring and fall, plus from my office, I get a great view of the birds in the trees. The most colorful ones usually catch my eye. And I have enjoyed getting to watch a pair of Cardinals be raised by their parents all summer long. They are just beautiful!! :)

I love ALL birds...........almost all of them. Around my neighborhood, we very often have blue jays that I just adore, and sparrows, pigeons, doves, chickadees, and others. I love them all, enjoy seeing them everyday in the yard, and especially love it when they talk to Popcorn and Muffin through the window, and Popcorn and Muffin respond. There really isn't a bird I don't like..............except perhaps vultures. :p

Hawks and falcons! When my grade went up-state for 4 days, a man brought in a vulture, falcon, owl, and hawk. He let them fly around, and even showed us how they eat. :)

Crows, hands down! When I was in California I had the pleasure to rehab several of them and I fell in love. I also like other birdies such as: penguins, seagulls, pelicans, robins, mockingbirds, cardinals, Canada Geese, Ospreys, Red Tailed Hawks and many others. Those are my favorites though. :)

Well, I have to say, my favorite wild bird is a starling, since I own one! :)
I also like sparrows, cardinals, purple martins, tufted titmouse, ducks, swans, penguins, owls, hawks ... well, any birds, really! :)

Twisterdog- speaking of starlings and crows, we once had a myna bird named Luke. He was very vocal and startlingly loud! I think they are related to the purple grackle, very common in the largest city near here. I love the iridescence, the call, and the bold personality. They hop around like bunnies everywhere. Even though the city council contemplates destroying them from time to time, they seem like big pet birds to me, hah.
