Loved your list, & I agree with creatorwise about adding the Carolina Wren & tufted titmouse - great birds on the adorableness factor. One more awesome bird is the whip-poor-will. Their song is so very loud for their rather small, inconspicuous bodies - a really notable song. They stay hidden, so all most folks know of them is their song. ~♥~

I was waiting for the Tufted Titmouse. I'm bummed it wasn't up there. They're cute as all get out.

Cardinals and cedar wax-wings too! Love chickadees tho

This was great! The best are the Kinglets! I was blessed to help one. She hit the window in my sunroom and crashed on to a table right in front of me. She took a hard hit and even damaged her beak. I got her and brought her in and held her, she was shaking and panting so badly it made me cry. All the. birds flew off when she hit. Then one returned sat still on the suet cage and stared at me helping her. When she moved around I would walk her outside to see if she was ready to fly away. Eventually she perched on my finger, out we'd go but she didn't fly away. The whole process took about an hour. When she was ready she looked at me and flew up to her mate. Now, im assuming she was a she bc of coloring. You cant miss the yellow on the males. What could have been a tragedy turned into a giant blessing!

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Gray Catbird. They may not be the most colorful birds, but I think they're up there on the cute list, especially when they mew.

Yes Catbirds are so adorable personality wise we have had them returning year after year for Suet and once we know they are back we put out Jelly and fresh fruit. They especially love fresh fruit and once they see me outside they come flying to the feeder. Sadly a damn felix domesticus killed one today or sometime since I had checked on them yesterday.... poor little cuties T_T

Barred owls are the cutest. They are such derpy little balls of fluff, and even their hooting is cute.

Kind of surprised Blue Jays weren't on your list. I know they are on mine.

I saw my first Kinglet about few months ago, and yes it was very cute, but my #1 will always be the Chickadee!

My top five:Bluebirds, Nuthatch,tufted titmouse,chickadee,buntings.

Love your choices, I would have to include bluebirds , cardinals, and mourning doves as they give me so much pleasure in my yard.

I am glad u picked the Ruby Crowned Kinglet as the cutest!

Ahh I live for Parakeets, yes common, but their stripes are so unique, and their colors are so soft and beautiful!

Bluebird is cutest and one I can't remember the name but rare and use to see in wabaso beach. Very colorful.oh yesss, the painted bunting

whoa, that's so cool!! There's a wildlife refuge about 20 minutes away from my house that I loveee to visit, and during the winter it is filled to the brim with swallows. The best thing about it is the fact that there's a big walking bridge across the lake with the nest boxes, and I find that swallows are very friendly to begin with, so you can imagine how close they'd let you get. The tree swallows love to sit on the railings, and the young Barn Swallows are always super friendly and just sit on the lilypads underneath the bridge, cheeping away cheerfully. Also, for the past two summers, I've been staying at a super cool summer camp (it's offered for free to children of disabled veterans, aka meeee) right on Lake Erie, so you can imagine all the cool things I got to see there. There were tons of beavers, groundhogs, friendly baby bunnies, owls, bats, eagles, goldfinches and scarlet/summer tanagers etc etc. I even saw a blue bird in the field once by the equestrian center, which I found interesting since there were *loads* of swallows anywhere else closer to the water, mainly barn swallows. They were living everywhere! There was a nest in the roof of the main hall (which kept me occupied when waiting to get signed in lol), another one up in the far corner of the mess hall/"banana building" right along the pathway everyone takes at least twice a day, and I've even heard that there were a few nests inside the "cabents" (cabin tents, they're basically a cemented ground with a wooden frame and roof and fabric flaps) at the boys' camp, since they're much closer to the water than we were. It was super cool being able to monitor the growth of those cuties!

I love the Black capped Chickadee, Nuthatch, and GoldenFinch. How you handle feed the birds I’ll never know!

Tufted titmouse is my pick for cutest bird. The white ring around the eyes makes their eyes look big and the tuft reminds me of my cockatiel.

I agree with all of your super cute birds, Leslie! Someone just below mentioned the Carolina Wren. This was my pick for #1 because it is the little bird with a big voice! They are curious and love to hop along the railings around houses. One hopped outside my kitchen window just the other day and looked in at me! They're so cute with their big bills, little bodies, and short stubby tails. After that I would say Sandpipers because of how they run away from the waves and then run back on the beach. They are so cute! And Woodcocks are another curious bird. I had one that kept trying to check out my garage while I was in it! It was checking out my yard and finally made its way back to the brush where they nest. They're so cute with their striped and specked feathers and enormously long bills! It's fun to watch them stick their long bills into the ground when they're feeding!

I've always like cedar waxwings.

I think American Woodcocks are one of the cutest birds. There “beep” noise along with their funny dance/walk is adorable.

Another thing about Juncos that's super adorable: when I lived in an apartment, I would see them on the deck doing a little "dance" to scrape the snow away and reveal fallen seeds from the feeder. They would do small, short jumps back and forth. Very cute!

I love owls

Bushtits are very special. They are very social and unafraid. Their small size and seasonal appearance here in the SF Bay Area is always a time for a small and sweet heartfelt joy. Their nests are the shape and size of a bundled pair of socks. We once had a rose in our back yard which happened to be at the tip of a long and straight vertical stem. About a foot below the rose, attached to the straight vertical stem, the bushtits made their nest. I've never seen anything real that was quite so close to being an honest-to-goodness fairy tale home. What a joy!

This is the most adorable video I have ever seen THIS IS THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE those birds are sooo small and fluffy and so round and most importantly VERYYYYYYYY CUUUUTTEEEEE

I call the junco ,junkheads ❤️. The humming birds get nicknamed hummers . The scale of cute defiantly includes their voices . Yes I agree the small owl is a good contestant . .

I’m in MD, USA. And one of my favorite birds around here are the tufted titmouse. so precious and they almost post as a group for photos.

I agree with you Lesley. the Chickadee guys are saying "Hey Sweetie", I'm sure of it!

I audibly said "YES!" when Kinglets came up as #1, totally agree :D I would have to include a wren, most likely winter/pacific wren. And with their "MEEP" call and huge eyes I'd have to include American Woodcock as well. Thanks for the fun video.

I remember the first Golden-crowned Kinglet I saw up close and personal many years ago. He stuck very close to me for a minute or two. He was so brave and so proper-looking. He reminded me of a busy, but proud little corporal in dress uniform. It seemed like he was showing off his wing bars but the yellow and orange coloring on his crown is what amazed me the most. I couldn't wait to get home and look him up to see what kind of bird he was. Years later, during the first Wisconsin Breeding Bird Atlas, I discovered a nesting pair. This was supposed to be a rare occurrence in Wisconsin but many others also found them. It was one of the surprising findings that the atlas work uncovered. Wisconsin has a decent population of breeding GCK! The second atlas just wrapped up so it will be interesting to see what that one shows.

I would add titmice to the list. Not sure which bird I'd leave off to switch out with them, though.

The little song of the chickadee was what raised my curiosity to learn more about them and other birds. At the time I knew NOTHING about birds, and I still don't know a lot, but I spent an hour one morning on youtube going through bird songs trying to figure out what little bird was making that morning song I was hearing at dawn. The Carolina Chickadee was the winner. We were in central Ohio at the time. I am now in Northeast Ohio and while I haven't heard the Carolina Chickadee, I do hear the Black-Capped. Always warms my heart. We put out bird feeders this years and it has brought so much entertainment for our whole family.

Where I live, we have Winter Wrens. So little, and so round, they’re adorable!

Ah!! Totally agree. These are definitely some of my favorites. However I might would add the Pine Warbler. They are so adorable. When I put peanut butter and seed in my suet feeder they are the first to show up. They fly up and sit on a nearby branch waiting for me to leave so they can get their treat. Love your videos!

And I thought screech owls were small! We had a nest of screech owls in our suburban back yard and we could walk right up to them at eye level. One day the three chicks floated up about two feet above my head! They were about the size and round shape of a soft ball and made no sound of any kind that I could hear! Like floating fluffy soap bubbles. I followed under them up the sidewalk for about 50 feet before they floated over a fence back to towards the tree.

My summertime favorite is the Gold Finches hanging on long bags of thistle. I make my own thistle bags using curtain lace...seeds don't fall out like the thistle bags sold in stores. One year I had 20 Gold Finches hanging on to one of the 22 inches long bag, was awesome, I have photos somewhere. I love the Flicker Wood pecker...their distinctive flying pattern is awesome. Today I have 2 Downy woodpeckers, 1 male, 1 female...Tons of Nuthatches and Chickadee's...nomming on seeds and sunflowers. My neighbor helps me make hanging Birch limb logs with 2" round holes I put nommies inside....I had a huge 18" long Pileated Woodpecker on my log feeder. We hear the owls, AND i had one swoop right over my head late one night...but I've never seen one. Last week we had an american bald eagle, swooping down in our big fish pond...he gets a big gold fish, but I'm OK with that, but NOT the Blue HEron who's wiped out nearly all of my big fishies. Started out with more than 80...now I have less than 20...sigh.... I'm always sharing your website with others...I post a few bird videos...but mine are shamefully novice at best! Loved that one with music...few weeks back...I play piano...well, try to at least! Tks for your awesome videos! We're in Boring, OreGONE...base of Mt Hood in Pacific northWET.

There was one time when I went to my backyard to get rid of my extra houseflies (which I used to feed my pet bugs). After throwing a few onto the ground, a ruby crowned kinglet flew down from a tree to my feet to chow down. He stayed while I emptied all my containers of flies, pigging out. Then flew back to a tree when I'd thrown all my extra flies away. The cutest!!!!!!!!
