Just wondering while I'm avoiding homework, what are your favorite exotic birds (like toucans, turacos).

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 !

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...

The shoebill is an awesome bird. They look like a real-life cartoon.

Scientifickr - Balaeniceps rex

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.

*edit, didn't read thread properly; looks like there are other people out there with impeccable taste in birds!

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

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

 

[Van.Diemen]

Never seen one of those before! Impressive!

 

[MikeyTN]

That's one pretty vulture!!!!!!!
