For me, it's red headed buzzards. They catch a lot of hate, but I think they're cool and they do the heavy lifting on road kill clean up. I like scavengers anyway, they're like predators but with more patience.

I like Gorriones aka house sparrows.
They're very beautiful and are usually found in large numbers. They are less afraid of humans as other birds and you can see them up close. They also have a very cute chirp, at least the ones I know.

That's my second favorite bird though.

The golondrina común or barn swallow, another common bird worldwide, has such a beautiful shape when flying and their colors are very beautiful. They also dance in circles when they fly with their homies.

The ones I know are migratory. During spring, they nest all around my house and have a beautiful display of flight right in front of me. It's such a privilege. In general they're also friendly birds, they won't become aggressive if you are near them. Beautiful birds.

I hope you will get to see the chicks! One year there was a (Eurasian) blackbird nest on the tree just outside my window that I could see well, but the nest failed and the birds just abandoned it. I couldn't see inside so I don't know if it was predated or if there was ever any eggs inside (they certainly seemed to roost on it thought), but I was so disappointed.

Unfortunately I've moved away from their present range and can no longer observe them but I was a big fan of the Black-billed Magpies of western NA. picrel.
Haven't been able to get close enough to positively identify it but I currently have what I assume are mourning doves, 2nd picrel, nesting on top of the pillars on my front porch. They've tried to do this for at least two years now but the ledge they're building on is too narrow to do anything. Last spring I was starting to get distressed by how much futile effort they were putting into it–literally weeks on end of piling up first a bit of mud then sticks only for it to tumble down to the ground–so I took the wooden base out of a box of mandarins and screwed it up there for them. This seemed to scare them off for the rest of that season but this spring they're back and in no time they've got their nest.

People here knock their nests off because they don't want them to shit everywhere. Because of that and agricultural mismanagement, the local populations halved in the last two decades.
