No! Why? Why are you doing this to me? You monster!
I love all of the different species of birds found in the Animal Crossing series since I'm fond of birds in real life.
My favorite of the bird species would probably have to be the Ostriches since there are so many of them that I'm fond of. Blanche, Cranston, Flora, Gladys, Julia, Phoebe, and Sprocket are all fantastic as far as I'm concerned.
I think I have to give the second place spot to the Penguins because penguins are my favorite animals in real life and I like the short, chubby design penguins have in this series. Hopper is one of my absolute favorite villagers and I also like Boomer, Cube, Flo, Friga, Gwen, Roald, Sprinkle, and Tex.
The Bird species itself is in third place I figure, because I like a good number of them as well and they have a cute shape. Jacques, Lucha, Midge, Piper, and Robin are all solid designs. I actually had a bit of a tough time deciding whether I'd rank them higher than penguins, so it's a really close third.
Eagles are in fourth place because I like a good number of them but their design is a little more awkward than the previously listed species. Apollo, Buzz, Celia, Keaton, and Sterling are all great. I liked Quetzal back in the day too, it's a shame he didn't return in the Welcome Amiibo update.
Chickens manage the fifth place spot by sheer number alone. Knox is my favorite of the chicken villagers because his gold knight helmet and how he makes a good pair with Sterling. Other chickens I like are Becky, Broffina, Ken, and Plucky.
Ducks are in last place. They have a cuter shape than Eagles and Chickens, but the Duck species has the fewest villagers among the various bird species that I like. Gloria is the best Duck for me. Molly is cute and I like Drake's mallard coloration. I don't like the others enough, but Bill does have a nice maroon color and I appreciate Scoot for having the helmet so it's not all bad.
