basically every single bird, but the one that stands out to me is the lilac breasted roller.

:hmz: A very difficult one!
I would have to say the African Fish Eagle because of it's beauty and that wonderful call it makes :dance:

But if you insist on a poll, I wish you happy typing! :twisted:

I love them all! But I am most fond of the crested barbet (or deurmekaar kerel as we have fondly named them)

I've got to put in a vote for the Pale Chanting Goshawk. I think they're completely stunning.

Coming a close second is the Yellow Billed Hornbill. As a child who grew up on the Lion King, dreaming about Africa but never getting to go there, to me that bird is Africa. They take my breath away every time I see one.

No question my favourite bird is the Fish Eagle.That sound tells me I'm in the African Bush. And if you have the African Bush in your blood there is no way to get rid of it, your hooked for life.
