If you were a bird, what bird would you be?

[mouse4702]

I'd be a carrion crow.  Not much to look at but robust, enquiring and adaptable.

I'd be a Swan graceful on the surface but paddling like crazy underneath 😄

[m25jet]

A Peregrine Falcon - the fastest bird in the sky (as well as the fastest animal on the planet) with a top speed of 242mph.

Emu. Flap flap flap but not actually getting anywhere.

[stroppy*cow]

My orthopeadic consultant has been heard to say that I'm an albatross ...........

[ilove2patch]

A Gannet just because I love them.:)

[twishy123]

I'd be a Dodo...

a fat,friendly,slightly eccentric looking bird with a penchant for entertaining large groups at meal times....

Crows are very intelligent which could be useful.

However to be one of the soaring birds and experience the sheer pleasure of soaring higher and higher on a summer's day would be wonderful.

[hightara]

er, an emu, cause i am very tall, with a mix of owl, as I usually am busier at night

[hightara]

would love to be a song bird, as most of my family have wonderful voices, alas I could shame a crow

[5129frederick]

Definitely a crow - jet black and so very majestic.  I knew somebody who had one as a pet - it had a full concervatory all to itself, and terrified the neighbours.  Even in the wild, they can live for over thirty years and yet you get a robin, and he'll be lucky to make it to three.  As a second choice, I wouldn't mind being a magpie.  

Of the song birds, the most recognisible of them all has to be the blackbird.  And yet here's the strange thing about it - he will never whistle the same tune twice.  I'll whistle, and he'll whistle back to me.  I once taped him in full song and played it back, and I was amazed.  As I said, no once did he repeat any of the tunes sung.

Probably a Budgie...

[saasher2012]

I'm tempted to say a Kestral but as I don't like heights I'll plump for Jay, shy not very often seen but when spotted gives a good show.
lol.

[hightara]

please elaborate leo............. why a budgie???

[rainydaywoman11]

I'd love to be a swift, soiaring up high as they do to feed and then in the evenings, they are very daring soaring round and round the house, screechinbg, playing  - down low and very close to where we are sitting outside, but so fast. They sleep on the wing too, don't fancy the trip to Africa though

In reality though I'd be like Tara, a Night Owl, me and Gerry Rafferty , not a good sleeper and find myself doing all sorts of tasks through the night.

Be a nice safe, comfy life being a budgie Leo, being spoilt by your owner - what colour would you be? lol.

[captainbovine]

I'd like to be a robin, fast, chirpy, and friendly.

never knew that about the falcon 242mph eh? wow!

[ilove2patch]

Don't be a Robin CB they are little bullies. I see you as a friendly Thrush or a Blackbird.:)

[stan3502]

A penguin.......................... waddles a lot, has a belly that touches me feet and can entertain a crowd 

[captainbovine]

oh there is that Maggie....OK I'll be a blackbird, they are my second favourite bird, especially as I had one feed out of my hand (even if it was only the once!!!)here.

Stan, oh that cracked me up!!! lol....

[wizilizi]

I'd be a hummingbird - flaps a lot but gets nowhere

Spends a lot of time loving flowers
