They look fairly similar, don't they? The greyish ones with the bars, I mean,
not the white fantails, etc.
Does this mean that context needs to be taken into account when one nominates a
best or worst bird to see? I assume no one who has nominated a best bird so far
meant it would be ok to see it in captivity. Is it "best" to see it in it's
natural environment? Or is it even better to see one in some weird place where
it's an extreme novelty, e.g. an Emperor Penguin in Queensland, or a Common
Mynah in Antarctica?
I'd like to suggest that it might be pretty cool to see something I consider
fairly ordinary like a Red-necked Stint sitting on a nest in Siberia, rather
than on a beach in Victoria.

While real Rock Pigeon Columba livia in its original habitat is a cool bird, I
would suggest its human-made mutant, the Feral Pigeon, as the "worst bird in
the world to see"

If there's a best bird in the world to see, is there a worst bird in the world
to see? Is there a bird one just shouldn't bother with?
