I don't even know where I would start for a world list, although Kagu, Cassowary (any), and Kakapo would have to be up there.
For ABA it's a little easier, especially limiting it to Code 3 and below birds
Ruddy Ground-dove - Nemesis
Bermuda Petrel
Gray-headed Chickadee

1. Bee-eater.
2. Hoopoe.
3. Red- capped Robin.
Although not bothered about the order that I see them, although don't think I'll ever get to see the Red- capped Robin and what a cracking Bird it is.

Hopefully I'll see a American Robin next weekend heading off to NYC and plan to go to Central Park.

Interesting Euan that we have 2 of the same bird and 1 of the same species.
Great minds think alike.

May I have 4?
Barred Warbler
Quail
Snow Goose
Lady A's Pheasant
All in the UK please. If I saw them I would achieve an ambition and that is to have seen all the 'regulars' according to the 1983 Shell Guide.
(PS Euan I have seen all of those on Scilly)

The three bogey birds are:
Great Spotted Cuckoo
Mangrove Cuckoo
Mississippi Kite
I would swap all three, however, to watch Cassowaries again. Impressive birds.

Kakapo, Spoon-billed Sandpiper & Marvellous Spatuletail for me.

EDIT Obviously I reserve the right to change my mind at whim, depending on which fieldguides I've recently been leafing through, or what pics gets posted on line, or any other reason at all. :t:
Cheers James,
Marvellous Spatuletail...mmm shows how dangerous these sorts of threads are.... I never thought of that!

Birds rule, mammals drool...
Not sure if this is a 'Three birds you have some realistic chance of seeing', or 'three birds you would love to see but probably never will'.

Well, Euan, I've not been to NYC myself, but if it's typical of the north-east U.S., you should be tripping over them in a place like Central Park. Especially at this time of year, when they're flocking to fruiting trees.

Good luck Andy, hope you get to see those soon! I've yet to see a Merlin either. Hobby and Stock Dove are both really nice birds, the few times I've seen a Hobby it's been really amazing and I remember getting a really close view of stock doves on a feeder at my local reservoir and really enjoyed that.
For me… difficult really to say but at this specific moment probably:
1. Little Owl - as I've heard them and seen a tiny glimpse but would LOVE to see one properly
2. Crested Tit - because they're just fantastic :t:
3. Storm Petrel - a bird I've really loved for years but not yet seen (I don't spend that much time at the coast)
