Happy almost winter to my Northern Hemisphere friends! Where I am, all the migratory birds have left for the south, leaving us only with our winter birds that stay through the snow. Today I will be ranking the bird species I see at my feeder!
-Cardinal: (6/10) we have 2 mating pairs living in my yard. one of them brings their baby from time to time. super cute and very pretty. can be aggressive sometimes, especially towards other species
-Blue Jay: (6/10) I LOVE BLUE JAYS! extremely common though. they're also very messy, so they lose a few points there. very cute and smart though, and make silly noises
-White-breasted Nuthatch: (8/10) funny birds. i'm a big nuthatch fan. when they're pissed off, which happens a lot, they do this funny dance (starts at like 1:18). i don't even know how to describe it, but they're trying to make themselves look big and scary, but just look super goofy
-Red-breasted Nuthatch: (10/10) TINY NUTHATCH! they're sooo little and adorable. Red-breasted Nuthatches are less common at my feeder than the White-breasted Nuthatches, so it's a treat to see them. they also say "meep meep meep meep meep"
-House Sparrow: (0/10) BAD SPARROW. UGLY. ALWAYS FIGHTING. BAD BAD BAD AWFUL EVIL GROSS
-House Finch: (6/10) I like finches more than sparrows, but these guys are still very common. the males are very pretty, and I love their red color. the females are Brown.
-Downy Woodpecker: (6/10) cute, tiny woodpecker! not much to say about him, he doesn't do much
-Hairy Woodpecker: (8/10) looks exactly like the Downy Woodpecker, but larger and with a bigger bill-to-head ratio. here's a comparison; hairy is on the left. gets bonus points for being less common than the Downies (hehe)
-Red-bellied Woodpecker: (11/10) BEST WOODPECKER!!!!!!!!!!!! i love these guys SO much; they're big, and have the cutest faces, and they hang upside down with their bellies up, its adorable
-Mourning Dove: (0/10) idiot fat r-slur birds. go away. no brain cells
-Black-capped Chickadee: (3/10) used to be cute but they ruined their reputation from being the worst birds to band EVER
-Tufted Titmouse: (6/10) absolutely adorable but very common. one thing i like about them is that they wait their turn to use the feeder. there's almost NEVER 2 titmice on the feeder at once
-Dark-eyed Junco: (4/10) eh, kind of a boring sparrow. but they have cool coloration, and i like how they pretty much only forage on the ground, which the House Sparrows don't tend to do
-American Tree Sparrow: (8/10) these guys, like the juncos, are only here during the winter, so I like them a bit more. i also like them because of their bicolored bill
-American Goldfinch: (9/10) what a great bird! the males go drab in the winter, so you don't get that bright yellow, but a goldfinch is always a wonderful sign!
That's about all I can remember for right now. Hopefully I didn't miss any!

-pigeons: (10/10). aptly named rats with wings. shit everywhere and perfect target practice for your shoe throws. would recommend flaming their nest with deodorant spray at least once

I was just about to add my own list but accidentally hit the back button. Instead ill provide my commentary on yours:
White-breasted nuthatches are at least a 9/10 imo. Theyre the stars of my backyard by a longshot.
house finches are more of a 3/10 for me because they overcrowd feeders and spread diseases. I kinda find them a little gross tbh.
i think your rating for mourning doves is a tad harsh, tho id give them more like a 4/10. Their stupidity can be entertaining to watch and seeing them struggle trying to figure out how to get on a feeder with a perch is pretty funny. Plus they make for great bait if you want hawks coming to your yard.
dark eyed juncos arent that boring. They can get pretty bold and once they get comfortable enough in the yard they will actually use the feeders. Plus I love the buzzing noises their babies make.

honestly i agree with all these except for the fact that i just think house finches are pretty
