Welcome! I'm also partial to birds, and I also like some of the more unusual ones. One of my favorites is the Great Blue Heron, (though I've been known to say they don't have any blue on them); back in my past I spent a lot of time trying to get close enough to watch them hunt, and I set up a spotting scope near a rookery on occasions and watched them working on their nests in the spring. I like how dignified they look.
There's a park not far from me that has a rehab facility, and I like to go there once in a while; they have a couple of Turkey vultures. Very unappreciated, but I stop by and say hello to them, and sometimes they give me curious looks. Whenever I'm out on the road, I greet them (and the hawks).
Corvids are very high on my list too, for their intelligence and their interesting family structures.
I'll be interested in seeing your writing.
