Do you have a favourite bird?

i like parakeets since they talk

Yeah, my little sun conure. 

For me, the Lammergeier or Bearded vulture.  One was reported traversing England recently (suggested a casual visitor from the Pyrenees). This is the species that carry bones to great heights and drop them on rocks to access the marrow - yum yum.

Sure. Any of them that's edible.

I have never had my favorite bird, no. I don't think it is ever likely to happen now. Mavis would never go for it anyway - if she were to be told, or to somehow find out, that is. She kind of regards me as her property, as I do her.
