I'll vote for Ravots, they are like colored ravens and black parrots.
Ibis kinda cute!
Ibis canna fly in formation!
Ibis can also be mummified!
A bit like the IBM of the bird world. Once all powerful, now getting a little bit dated... Wiki says...
Venerated and often mummified (yay!) by Ancient Egyptians as a symbol of the god Thoth, the Ibis was according to Herodotus and Pliny the Elder also invoked against incursions of winged serpents. Herodotus' account follows as thus (This bit SO cooool...):
"There is a region moreover in Arabia, situated nearly over against the city of Buto, to which place I came to inquire about the winged serpents: and when I came thither I saw bones of serpents and spines in quantity so great that it is impossible to make report of the number, and there were heaps of spines, some heaps large and others less large and others smaller still than these, and these heaps were many in number.
The region in which the spines are scattered upon the ground is of the nature of an entrance from a narrow mountain pass to a great plain, which plain adjoins the plain of Egypt; and the story goes that at the beginning of spring, winged serpents from Arabia fly towards Egypt, and the birds called ibises meet them at the entrance of this country and do not suffer the serpents to go by but kill them. On account of this deed it is (say the Arabians) that the ibis has come to be greatly honored by the Egyptians, and the Egyptians also agree that it is for this reason that they honor these birds."
Good place to find fossils for dinosaurs to this day as well... But I prefer the explanation that the IBISES ATE 'EM!
Because... trouble with the trolley, eh?
They're Faaaaaabulous!
LOL Believe it or not I believed the Lord of Chaos and Google~Image'd "ravots", quite unbelievable be it not? >_<

American kestrel
And I always liked chickadees and gold finches and mountain bluebirds and Schenectady owls and.... I'm quite fond of birds.
I think a lot of people don't realize how cute eastern screech owls are. The just think they make a loud noise, which don't really do.
Back on topic... Here are some pics to show my support for nature's drag queens:
I'm going to go with Blue Jay!
