What is your favorite type of Bird?
Personally, my favorite type of bird is the Eagle.
I find Eagles to be swift, majestic, assertive, and shrewd.
I think these qualities are both admirable and respectable.
You can learn a lot from an eagle if you observe them closely.

Re: What is your favorite type of Bird?
Well we have a mini macaw, I cannot believe the intelligence of the these birds. Not only do the talk but most importantly they talk appropriately. They use the tease our dog when he was outside in the rain and they were inside. They called the dog for help when some local crows got to close. If I do do some thing wrong they tell me I'm bad. There curiosity to see around the corner or inside a closed box is incredible. Apparently the birds brain has developed in a different manner. There was an African Grey at the U of Southern Cal who had an appropriate vocabulary of more than 900 words. These birds are thought to have the intellect of a 3-5 year old.

Personally I like the Dodo bird.
Dodos have managed to trick scientists into thinking they’ve gone extinct.
So yeah, they’re much smarter than given credit for.
Also Dodos are very tasty indeed.

I like tits.
Especially great tits.
In part, I guess, because of their name.

I am glad to know that I am not the only one that confuses a Great tit for a blue tit.

Great tit
Last updated: 21 January 2011
Often mistaken for a blue tit, this large, common garden bird is differentiated from its cousin by its size and the solid black stripe down its front.

Now that you mention it, I also seem to recall reading a book like that.
I think out of all the tits that were mentioned, the Two Tits piqued my interest the most.

Re: What is your favorite type of Bird?
Speaking of crows, they have indeed some serious intelligence. My father is pensioner and on his daily bike tracks he's meeting the same crows always at the same place and doing some things with them. Naturally it has to do with food but they learn quick how to get it easy and are pretty loyal to them who provides.
