I really like the takahe. I hope the conservation and reintroduction program is successful and these round birds will increase in their numbers. Post your own favourite species of bird.
I like the kingfisher family. Did you know that the word 'Halcyon', as in 'Halcyon Days', means kingfisher in Ancient Greek? Kingfishers live all over the world but they originally came from the region of Indonesia. Many people do not realise it, but the famous Australian bird the Kookaburra, namesake of cricket bats, is in fact a kingfisher. Attached is the Common Kingfisher, which is the species most commonly known in Britain and Europe.
Bird species remind me of an awful board game so I don't like any.
