As a bit youngster, I´ve at all times appreciated watching birds fly round and imagined, what it might be like flying round alone each time I really feel prefer it and never having to sit down in an airplane stuffed with good folks.
Anyway, as I grew older, I began to view birds in a different way, quite in a superficial manner, simply judging them by their seems to be or whether or not they appeared “cute” or “fairly”. Since I’m not precisely an ornithological professional, this rating is solely primarily based on my private ideas and impressions of those species.
P.S.: For those who’ve learn my earlier publish, you gained’t be shocked to seek out out that the Nice Noticed Woodpecker didn’t make it onto this listing!
Beginning with the 5th place: The Peacock (Pavo cristatus)
My very detailed analysis (thanks, Wikipedia) taught me that these birds are literally referred to as Indian Peafowls– I´m studying loads writing these posts! It’s not exhausting to think about what a woman may like in regards to the male peacock specifically, on condition that his colourful feathers and allure are all about impressing females – whatever the species, I assume. The one purpose for it being in fifth place is the disagreeable noise this chicken tends to make, which enormously differs from its look.
Subsequent up in 4th place is: The Toco Toucan (Ramphastos toco)
The Toucan has at all times been such a cool chicken to me!
When birds, I typically give attention to their heads and beaks, as these options can actually affect my opinion. (As an example, the Marabou Stork or the Californian Condor.) Toucans, alternatively, have at all times appeared “clear” and amusing to me. Not in a bizarre manner, however in a manner that makes me suppose they might be extraordinarily humorous and down-to-earth if they may discuss – with a beak like that!
The bronze medal (3rd place) goes to: The European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
Robins are quite common in Germany. Colour and dimension smart undoubtedly a big “downgrade” from the earlier two birds, but I like watching European Robins hop round my yard; they appear so sensible and witty. For his or her dimension, they appear extremely courageous, fearlessly looking worms (I coincidentally at all times appear to be catching them looking minutes after mowing the garden) with willpower. Their brilliant crimson chests make them appear to be tiny superheroes. Plus, they’re simply tremendous cute basically. There’s one thing endlessly entertaining about their little antics!
In 2nd place are: Hummingbirds (Trochillidae)
I love hummingbirds basically; their colourful feathers, dimension, and normal look are merely gorgeous. There appears to be a sample with me liking birds for his or her vibrant plumage! Not solely are they beautiful, however their precision in hovering and sipping nectar is mesmerizing. They even resemble butterflies of their delicate actions, which I additionally adore. These tiny, dazzling creatures by no means fail to excite me.
Lastly: my favourite chicken of all time undoubtedly is the owl.
I’m completely smitten with owls, no matter their species. Their lovely physique form, eyes, and face simply soften my coronary heart. However past their cuteness, what really astounds me is their intelligence and memorable looking skills. It’s unbelievable how they glide by way of the air with such silent grace, like ethereal beings within the darkness. Their majestic presence evokes a way of calm and concord within the wild. Owls, to me, symbolize the guardians of the night time, embodying the untouched great thing about nature. Their mysterious attract by no means fails to captivate me.
Nonetheless, if I had to decide on a selected owl species (which, let’s face it, I need to, contemplating I’ve dedicated to rating them), I’d go along with the Tawny owl (Strix aluco). In my humble opinion, it’s the epitome of owl-ness and undeniably lovely.
And so, as I wrap up my rating of my favourite feathered companions, I’m left in awe of the sheer selection and marvel of the avian world. From the flamboyant peacock to the fragile hummingbird and the enigmatic owl, every chicken holds a particular place in my coronary heart. They function reminders of the sweetness and thriller that encompass us day-after-day. Right here’s to the birds that carry pleasure to our lives and shade to our skies – could we at all times cherish and shield these magnificent creatures.
