Joe... "Jays are argumentative..." Apparently, you do not know of The Moosebird... they are not argumentative. Indeed, as per my post, they are very friendly. Now, geese, ther's an arguement I don't want. As far as the loon, well that just ain't gonna happen - are you Looney Tunes?

The Northern Ontario Shania is surely a striking bird. Varying in a variety of plummage of striking colours, it sings in a like range of song. It's tail is especially admired by many, but since it is so flighty, few ever get to pluck the odd feather. However, it's range in Canada is limited to NO and it mainly lives in the southern USA. Not a good candidate.

bankley... the Thunderin' Tundra Booby is a bird of note, but not a monogamous one, which may detract from it's chances. This particular Boody, genus Anderson and species Pam, is a striking bird, which can soar to tremendous heights because of it's large and powerful breast but would be a poor choice to commit to.
