My favourite is the magpie!
 
It's really common, so everyone knows it.
 
It has a wonderful "metallic" song.
 
It fiercely protects its nesting places - leading to publicity (and often some great stories in the media) each spring
 
It's behaviour in cocking its head sideways to hear the movement of grubs in the grass and then extracting them expertly is quite amazing.
