Answer 2

This is not an easy question. First, it depends upon the time of year,
whether you are including migratory birds or just residential birds, and the
habitat you are interested in surveying. Migratory birds often fly in great
numbers through the US from South America to Canada. Do these count?
Second, few species are found throughout the US, so there are region to
region differences. Third, as the Audubon Society reports after their
sponsored 99th Christmas Bird Count, 115 species of birds are on the decline
and most are localized to specific regions of the US. Fourth, not all
states are equally surveyed due to their size and the number of volunteers.
Fifth, some birds are not seen easily to be counted, and only expert birders
can determine them by their calls and songs. There are few expert birders.

Some states have large numbers of counting volunteer birders for both spring
and winter bird counting while other states have extremely few participants.
Exact numbers to determine a "winner" in the most bird category is
difficult.

Now, in states like Illinois, it is clear that the Red-winged Blackbird
tallies to be the most numerous. There are a fair number of birders in the
state. Some states report the starling as most numerous during the winter
and other birds during the other seasons.

The only organization that may have some figures is the Audubon Society.
You will have to contact them for information, but they are more focused on
endangered or declining birds.

The bottom line, it is impossible to determine one bird species as the most
numerous without specifying specific parameters.

Answer 3

Thats a noty true.

The most common WILD bird in the united states is the House Sparrow. It is estimated that there are 8 billion in just the united states and they are on every contintnt except antarctica.

The most common DOMESTIC bird is the Rhode Island Red Chicken

The most common PET bird is the Budgie or parakeet as some people call it. Other people say its the cockatiel.

I hope this helps

Answer 4

I'd have to just guess....Engish Sparrow, Starling or the common pigeon. All three species have learned how to live side by side with man and not only survive, but to multiply.

Answer 5

Thunderbird

Answer 6

I think it would probably be the House sparrow, with the European Starling or Mourning Dove coming in second.
