My close-up, intimate favorite will always be cats, but my view-from-a-distance favorite have always been ants. They are simply fascinating and I've killed so much boredom while being wherever just finding an ant hill to watch.
Does anyone even get that they're basically the most perfect Nazis ever? They are in perfect uniform collaboration, act as a single unit, and kill everything that isn't them.

The frog is my favorite
 
Crows are great, there is a crow that lives near my house which sometimes hides a branch in a gutter and takes it out to poke it in places it can't reach with spider webs so it can eat the insects.
Crows are fascinating. There've been studies and apparently they're able to recognize people (who've harmed them or been nice to them) and I can believe it. I've been feeding one for weeks and it is a lot less skittish than it was when I first started and it's still scared and suspicious if someone else tries to feed it (context: I throw nuts at it from my window, it flies off when someone else throws them but sticks around and waits for more when I do it)

I also watched crows drop walnuts from a great height to crack them. They really are smart animals.

Ducks are just lovable little goofballs.

Also Chickens are horribly underrated creatures that make amazing lovable pets.

My family raised chickens for eggs.

EDIT: Nowadays they'd be forbidding us to do it given we live within city limits and livestock probably needs a permit or whatever. Neighbors certainly had to put up with the smell.

Suprisingly smart, they can remember the location of birdfeeders, can use sticks and rocks to help get food, Mimics its predetors calls to scare away potential rivals for food and even fight back against birds of prey using dog-fighting manoeuvres.
Not a bird to be fucked with.

Edit: They're part of the crow family, which explains the smarts

I like all of them, really, with the exception of reptiles. I once tried to keep an alligator lizard I caught as a pet, but I had to let him go because all he did was glare at me and the vibes were all about how he would devour me if only he were bigger or I were smaller. Creepy thing. Amphibians are okay, though.

*eta - My top 3 are cats, birds, and horses.
