What kind of Early-Obtained Bird Pokemon do you want?

In every generation, there's always a bird Pokemon you can obtain early on and level up. This has been a unbroken trend in Pokemon and it really shouldn't be a surprise if it happens again. In fact it's pretty understandable if many of you think it's guaranteed at this point it's going to happen. What could be a surprise is what kind of bird Pokemon it could be? Staraptor, Talonflame and Toucannon were some surprises for example. One trend I have noticed though, is how every early-obtained bird Pokemon is always based on a species/group of birds.

Pidgeot - Pidgeons
Noctowls - Owls
Swellow - Swallows
Staraptor - Starlings
Unfezant - Pheasants
Talonflame - Hawks
Toucannon - Toucans

But this is less of making guesses on what the next early-obtained bird Pokemon is and more what kind of early-obtained bird Pokemon do you want?

I liked Talonflame because it has a typing other than Normal/Flying. I want to see another regional bird like that.

I always had this idea of an electric/flying pseudo-legendary Pokemon you could get early on in the game. I've always wanted to see a pseudo-legendary bird Pokemon.

I would also like to see more psuedos that aren't dragons. We haven't had a non-Dragon type Psuedo-Legendary since Gen 3 with Metagross.

I feel like a Bird-Of-Prey pseudo-legendary would be an awesome start. Something bigger than Staraptor, almost like it's out of Monster Hunter lol.

You're saying that you want the regional bird to also be a Psuedo-Legendary?

Anything that's not another generic Normal/Flying bird. Talonflame was a step in the right direction since it became Fire/Flying, let's see more unique type combinations for the birds.
Yeah. That's what I want to see.

I'm more interested in seeing non-/Normal final stages for regional birds than I care too much for what the bird is inspired by. Specially after the ruined my Wood Pecker Pokemon by turning it into a Toucan.

I want to see either a;
Ice/Flying
Electric/Flying
Steel/Flying.

yeah honestly I was kind of hoping that the Toucan pokemon would be a separate pokemon from the Wood Pecker pokemon, and not a case of the Wood Pecker Pokemon turning into the Toucan Pokemon, so that was kind of disappointing especially considering it stayed Normal/Flying not that I have anything against Toucannon per say.

How would you feel about a Ice/Flying type bird based on the Arctic Tern, or what about a Electric/Flying bird based on the Finch, or a Steel/Flying bird based on the Stymphalian birds?

I want a bird Pokemon with rocket jets and can fly into the stratosphere lol. Now THAT would be Pseudo-Legendary material.

Spritzee is like a mix of everything. It’s my favorite bird.
Can't say the same for Aromatisse however. There hasn't been an actual evolutionary line that's fully hummingbird. So it might happen.
