Overrated / Underrrated

So today I came up with the idea of posting about once a week a couple of things in the same category that I find to be overrated/ underrated. It can be movies, books, cars, anything pretty much. Because the public needs to know when it comes to what the best of the best.
Today's topic is:
Birds


Overrated:

Flamingos
I find the flamingo to be a particularly overrated creature, if God didnt decided to make the flamingo pink we would be cursing them just like we curse the seagulls. I mean all they do is stand around, practically a sitting duck for predators, in their pinkness. And I dont think they can even fly great distances, just kinda flop along in the air for a few feet. What a waste.


Underrated:

Ducks
This is a creature we take for granted, I think. The duck is such a cool brid. A duck can swin quckly, fly great distances, and walk adequately on land. How cool is that? I don't know who came up with the term "sitting duck", but it seems to me they can escape from predators with ease. Ducks are awesome. There is nowhere the duck is out of place, adaptable to many environments. And theyre the best cause they gave us the movie The Mighty Ducks

Overrated - Mockingbirds. Yeah, they're the state bird and yes you're not supposed to off 'em... but they dive bomb your head snd peck at your face.. total Alfred Hitchcock. I still don't get what Boo Radley has to do with them, but anyway...

Underrated - Hummingbirds - This is what happens when you mix Red Bull, Chocolate covered expresso beans and a tiny and otherwise innocent looking creature. I wonder what would happen if you fed them Ritilin... Don't... by the way
