    Don’t laugh but I don’t have a favorite because I am terrified of birds. Don’t know why but when one is close, I panic. I’d rather hold a snake or a tarantula.

    I was going to say hummingbird because they are so cute, but then they are so aggressive to each other around the feeder that I changed my mind. I’m going to say mockingbird, because they have such a pretty song.

    My favorite bird is the house finch. They are friendly little birds. We had a pair lay eggs and raise their young in our potted geraniums three years in a row. They would fly up onto our neighbor’s roof when I’d go out to carefully water the flowers and then come right back. They also sing a pretty song.

    First thanks for another incredible release!!! I have a hard time saying what my very favorite bird is because I love so many! In my childhood in Illinois though it was the cardinal. The bright red of its feathers always fascinated me and one nested in our pine tree outside our kitchen window and I could see it every morning at breakfast! They are so very beautiful! Now my favorite is probably the hummingbirds that visit my garden throughout the year here in the Pacific NW! They are so fun to watch! But I am also blessed to see blue heron and bald eagles on my walks near the lake by my home and their majesty takes my breath away!

We also have a woodpecker that loves to sit and peck in an old grapefruit tree in our backyard. To pick one favorite is difficult as we have such a wonderful bird paradise with many different types.

    I have to say that my favorite bird is a toss up between the Red Robin and the Blue Jay. Both are just so beautiful and have gorgeous coloring. It is hard to pick between the two but I think I might lean more toward the Blue Jay, if I had to pick just one that is lol.

One little guy in particular, we call the ‘swing set’ bird, as his little call sounds just like a swing that may need a little oil – oh, and his song? sounds just like his name: chickadee – dee – dee!

    I’m certain I’m not alone in choosing the cardinal as my favorite. I’ve also been surprised to hear others say that one reason is the same as one of mine. My mom was a lover of the color red…dresses, shoes, purses, cars, front doors, scarves, gloves, coats. You name it, if it came in red she chose it. And, she loved birds. Cardinals in particular were her fave. We always kidded her and told her it must be because they are red. She denied that and said she loved their song. She could even whistle the song of a cardinal well enough to summon them to our back yard. She’s gone now, but every time I see a cardinal I feel like she’s making a visit. I’ve learned that other people experience this feeling when they spot a cardinal. Must be something to it.

It was about a crazy babysitter who traveled by bathtub and had a pet Dodo bird. I had never heard of that type of bird, and it led me to learn about them. I’ve always been interested in homing pigeons and how they were used to carry messages during WWI.

A few years ago while visiting my mother in Michigan, we were watching the birds at the feeder outside her dining room window, and we spotted the brightest blue bird I’d ever seen. It was smaller and brighter than blue jays. We both wondered what bird it was, and research showed it to be a Blue Bunting. So, now, blue buntings are my favorite bird.

    I love so many birds, but bluejays are right up there. Once a neighborhood cat caught a blue at my birdfeeder and ran off with me and several of the bluejays friends following behind. The birds flew faster than I can run and I see the cat being dive bombed by the other jays and it releases the one in it’s mouth and runs off. The jay that had been captured sits for a minute, shakes itself off and flies off with it’s buddies.

    I also love them because of their brilliant blue coloring, their curiosity and that they have a range of songs from squawky “hey yous” to more chirpy “hello theres”.

    Yellow finch. Native American culture holds the finch as a bird of happiness, since theyโ€™re so brightly-colored, and their flight patterns are joyful, ebullient, a bouncy, joyful pattern of bobbing through the air in complete delight. Finches symbolize โ€˜bright times aheadโ€™ or โ€˜bright days on the horizon. Also love the chickadee.

It would be my favorite because of Isaiah 40:31 “Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles,
    They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.” Eagles are a beautiful, strong, majestic bird. (But I’ll still keep my distance and watch from afar ๐Ÿ˜‰ lol)

    It’s hard to narrow it down to one particular kind of bird with all the different species God created, and each one so unique in its song and look. I think I am particularly fond of sparrows, though, because of Jesus’ reminder not to worry because the Lord is aware when even a sparrow falls, and we are worth much more than many sparrows. Such a comforting passage when we are going through difficult times to know God is aware of every detail in our lives and cares deeply for us.

    I cannot say I have a favorite because I love them all!

    When we are camping at the beach it is fun to watch them dig in the sand and then run when the water gets too close. Or to watch the seagulls dive bomb into the water for a fish. When we are camping in the woods we see cardinals, bluejay’s, robins or some beautiful black & white bird….not sure if it is a Magpie or what. We get hummingbirds that like the flowers on all the lantana planted throughout our community which are fun to watch with their wings flapping 100 mph.

    Each has it’s own beauty and quirky little ways of doing things……something I find fascinating.

    Without a second thought, my favorite bird is the mockingbird. He fills the morning and evening with wonderful song – a long song praising God in the morning for a new day and a bit quieter one at night giving thanks. He will never die with all his song inside for he shouts it out and uses all the other birds’ songs when he runs out of things to sing about in his own voice.

They begin building their nests in Feb, then once the babies are born, they are so busy bringing nourishment to the little ones. I’ve gotten some wonderful pics of the mom feeding the hungry babes, with their heads out througn the house hole & their mouths wide open. And they’re so beautiful!

    A favorite bird–my list is long. Hummers I know they will arrive at my feeder March 20th–the male dive bombs me. “I have returned” he says. For the past 26 years I make sure my feeders are full. The Rufus Sided Towhee is secretive and it ruffles the ground searching for food. Red breasted Nuthatch is so sociable you can almost touch them at the feeders. And the woodpeckers who finally decided that suet feeders might be a bit better than my cedar sided house. Birds make my day!

    Mine is the Robin – I’ve always loved the childhood story about how the robin got its red breast, plus its association with Christmas (my favourite time of year) makes it a winner hands down. Living in a city I don’t see many colourful birds – mainly brown sparrows – but I do have 2 robins who live in my garden who provide a lovely splash of colour all year round. They sit & wait patiently each morning for me to fill up the bird feeders & have got so used to me that they don’t fly off when I get near to them!

    The Finch Birds are my favorite. After getting married, my husband and I realized that having babies could not be one of our blessings. I became very depressed, and was feeling miserable all the time. Among other things, including the Lord, my friends, my family, and my husband, buying a pair of cute Finches brought light and happiness to my life. I loved caring for them, they were very happy birds, and their happiness was contagious. They were part of my therapy. I am now the mother of a wonderful 12 years old boy. We donยดt longer have any live birds because our condominium is very small, but youยดll find little birds figurines all around my house. One day, when we have a proper space for them, Finches will be part of this little family again.

    I love Eagles. They are fierce and majestic, and take care of their young.

    My favorite is the cardinal. Love the bright red of the male, and when I see them in our neighborhood I know that warmer temps are around. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I love bald eagles because of the thrill I’ve experienced every time I’ve been lucky enough to spot one.

    To pick just one bird species is hard as I truly love all birds but I have owned a lot of Lovebirds, so I guess I’d choose them as my favorite bird species. I love all the different color varieties, I love that they sing rather than chirp or squalk, and my most favorite thing is that I love how they bond very closely with thier owner or mate. Thank you so much for such a fantastic release! I love all the products and can’t wait to get them!

    When I visit my son and his family in Juneau, it is so wonderful to see all the eagles. They are such majestic birds and to see them in such a beautiful habitat is just breathtaking!

    Don’t laugh but my favorite bird is a penguin! I can’t see them from my window but they make me happy when I see them at the zoo etc. They are so funny. They waddle and stare off into space as if they are contemplating the universe.

    My favorite local bird is a cardinal. They are such a beautiful flash of color on a winter’s day. They are also very shy and polite at bird feeders. They wait for the pushier birds to finish.

    Robins are the first thing to come to mind because they are one of the first signs of spring here in the Midwest.

    Hummingbirds are my favorite because they are so tiny and they like to flock in some beautiful flowers that we have outside in the yard.

    I like the cardinal. As a small child after my grandparents passed my, mom always told us when we saw a cardinal in was grandma and grandpa, checking in from heaven to see if we were being good.

    My favorite bird is the hummingbird. They are colorful and tiny and migrate great distances for such a small bird. They are also super pollinators. A beautiful and feisty bird.

    I love doves because they’re beautiful and they represent so many wonderful things: peace, love, and the Holy Spirit.
