Top 10 Best Birds

Which bird do you like, think about, see often, feel a closeness to, or have a kinship with?

The Top Ten
  1. Blue Jay

    The Blue Jay (Latin name Cyanocitta cristata) is a passerine bird in the Corvidae family. It is also known as a Jaybird, and its name comes from its noisy nature. Native to North America, the Blue Jay is found throughout most of the eastern and central United States, with some migrating to other countries... read more

    I see it all the time, and even though it sounds like a mean fifth-grade girl, it's beautiful.

    I watch documentaries about those. They're ever so interesting.

    Blue Jays are so pretty! They have almost any shade of blue!

  2. Parrot

    Parrots, also known as psittacines, are birds comprising roughly 393 species in 92 genera within the order Psittaciformes. These birds are found predominantly in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. They are known for their bright plumage, intelligence, and ability to mimic human speech... read more

    I'm not sure about parrots, but my favorite type of parrot is the Double Yellow Headed Amazon Parrot, also known as the Mexican Headed or Yellow Headed Amazon.

    I study Amazon Parrots.

    They're cute because they imitate human speech.

    Some parrots can even talk! How cool is that?

  3. Bald Eagle

    The bald eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle. It is the national bird and symbol of the United States of America.

    America's bird! Strong, majestic, and I just love the snow-white head. They can go up to 10,000 feet in the air!

    And they can soar air currents for many hours straight, no rest. Their nest can weigh up to one ton!

    Aside from being America's bird, this bird is actually the strongest of all birds.

    They are good predators and can do lots of tricks.

  4. Penguin

    Penguins (order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae) are aquatic, flightless birds found almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere. The only species found north of the Equator is the Galápagos penguin. Penguins are highly adapted to marine life, featuring countershaded plumage and flippers for efficient... read more

    Both parents show equal care for their chick. They go fishing together and will fight to their death to defend their chick against skuas, parasitic jaegers, and mammals.

    Even with climate change, this bird will definitely survive due to its resilience.

    They are my brother's favorite animal, and they are just so cool and unique.

    I love them so much, their walk and swim, and call!

  5. Hummingbird

    Hummingbirds are birds from the Americas that constitute the family Trochilidae. They are among the smallest of birds, with most species measuring between 7.5 and 13 cm in length. Known for their rapid wing beats and ability to hover, they play a crucial role in pollination across many ecosystems.

    This is the only bird that does not use its feet for launching upward in flight! Their wings do all the work. This is my favorite bird because it is the smallest, the cutest, and it looks so innocent and elegant.

    This bird is very graceful and sweet.

    Definitely the most unique, amazing, and majestic. Has my vote!

  6. Cardinal

  7. Peregrine Falcon

    The peregrine falcon, also known as the peregrine and historically as the duck hawk in North America, is a widespread bird of prey in the family Falconidae. It is renowned for its speed, reaching over 200 miles per hour during its hunting stoop. The peregrine falcon is found on every continent except... read more

    Fact: The fastest animal on Earth, faster than a cheetah. Cute birds too I guess. Zoom, off I go again!

    It is in fact the fastest animal on Earth!

    I like the peregrine falcon because they are so fast and cool!

  8. Andean Condor

    A South American bird species, the Andean Condor is one of the world's largest flying birds due to its wingspan, which can exceed 10 feet. It predominantly feeds on carrion and plays a significant cultural and symbolic role in various Andean societies. The species is currently listed as vulnerable due... read more

    This thing is ugly as heck, but I really like it for some reason.

    Is this the result of a cassowary and turkey mutation?

    Andean condors are the national bird of 5 countries. They have to be the best.

  9. Peacock

    The peafowl include two Asiatic bird species (the blue or Indian peafowl, originally from India and Sri Lanka, and the green peafowl of Myanmar, Indochina, and Java) and one African species (the Congo peafowl, native only to the Congo Basin). These birds belong to the genera Pavo and Afropavo in the... read more

    They're totally amazing. Their face, body, tail, everything about them is just wonderful.

    They are the most beautiful birds, well at least the males.

    Peacocks look nice, although that's the only thing good about them.

  10. Ostrich

    The ostrich, or common ostrich, is one of two species of large flightless birds native to Africa. It is the only extant member of the genus Struthio, which belongs to the ratite family. In 2014, the Somali ostrich was officially recognized as a separate species from the common ostrich.

    The most majestic bird type in my opinion. I love them.

    The greatest of all flying creatures.

    The chicken is a type of domesticated fowl and a subspecies of the red junglefowl. It is one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a global population of more than 19 billion as of 2011. Chickens are kept primarily for their meat and eggs and are found in nearly every part of the world... read more

  17. Dove

    Pigeons and doves constitute the bird family Columbidae, which includes about 310 species. Pigeons are stout-bodied birds with short necks and short, slender bills. They primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and plants, and are found worldwide except in the driest and coldest regions.

    I love the doves a lot. They are angelic creatures, a gift from the pearly gates of heaven. I feel that we as a society don't deserve doves. They are far too pure for our understanding.

    The dove is one of the most beautiful birds in existence, deserving of at least top 4 in this list. Not only do they have a captivating presence, they also stand for something much more, a spiritual aspect that us humans have not ascended to yet.

    The symbol of peace. Do I really need to elaborate on this?

  18. Andean Flamingo

  19. Duck

    Duck is the common name for a large number of species in the waterfowl family Anatidae, which also includes swans and geese. Ducks are generally smaller than their relatives and are found in both freshwater and seawater habitats across the world. They are known for their broad bills, webbed feet, and... read more

    Ducks are my favorite farm animals.

    They are the superior bird. Quack.

  20. Pigeon

    Pigeons and doves are members of the bird family Columbidae, which includes about 310 species. These birds are characterized by stout bodies, short necks, and slender bills. They primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and plant material.

    They're cute, make great pets, and they saved lives in the world wars.

    They are actually very clean animals. I want a pet pigeon.

  21. Barn Owl

  22. Crow

    I think these birds are pretty cool. I think they're nice, and I read a story about one that learned to talk.

    The other crow I like is Crow Hogan from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

    We see a lot of stories portraying them as ever so greedy, but they are smart!

  23. Robin

  24. Toucan

    Toucans are members of the family Ramphastidae of near-passerine birds from the Neotropics. They are recognizable by their large, colorful bills, which are used for feeding and thermoregulation. Toucans are primarily frugivorous but also consume insects and small animals.

    This is a colorful, beautiful bird I love.

  25. Atlantic Puffin

    Puffins are three species of small seabirds in the auk family that belong to the genus Fratercula. They are known for their brightly colored beaks during the breeding season and their ability to fly underwater while hunting for fish. Puffins are native to the North Atlantic Ocean and breed in colonies... read more

    I love their color, cuteness, and way they walk.

    Very smart. I like their noises.
