Exotic Birds

Himalayan monal. The bird that inspired Kevin from Up. Lovely pheasent.
 
If you mean wild birds I'd have to definitely say hummingbirds, and then birds of paradise. Locally I love our hummingbirds (ruby-throated - they are the only hummingbirds in the United States east of the Mississippii River) although I love our local indigo buntings, scarlet tanagers, and rose-breasted grosbeaks. If you mean birds in the pet category I'd have to say .... omg I can't pick !
 
Birds of Paradise are magnificent!!
 
Well, if you're talking non-pets, then penguins. I'm sorry, but they're just too cute. I'm sure there's a million more beautiful and intriguing birds, but I just have a deep affection for penguins. It's a bit cliche, I know.
 
I would love to touch a Penguin...and own one of its feathers...
 
IF I'm going by my backyard wild birds I have to go with the Wrens since they used the nest box I put up and had little babies in there....They were so cute! :)

I'm sorry, but I couldn't say anything that rubs poop on themselves when their hot to be considered a magnificent bird, LOL ;) they are very cute and cartoony, though
 
Shoebill.

These things remind me of a cross between a prehistoric creature and Pixar animation.

OMG you just reminded me of the Lammergeier (or the Bearded Vulture), a living dinosaur if ever I've seen one! :eek:

Artists actually seem to rely heavily on this bird when they re-create animals from the prehistoric Dromaeosaurid family, such as the Utahraptor.
