The Kea: A Kobold creation that attacks in packs, paths to your most expensive stocks, and can fly.
I've watched my guards chase them down in circles to exhaustion.

Marginally more annoying than the macaque.

Just wait till you get giant keas ! They still steal shit and they will kill your civilians !

And yes, keas are DF2012's rhesus macaques. With added flying. But somehow their trolling of fortresses endears them to me.

Also, doesn't this guy http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/Nestor_notabilis_-Fiordland%2C_New_Zealand-8b.jpg looks amusing to you ? To me it does.

Giant cockatiels however...

I don't like Ravens.

I don't like Ravens.

I've actually tamed and am currently breeding ravens in my current fortress...

The Kea just planned the heist; it was actually performed by an African swallow. That or two European swallows with a string harness.

For me right now this is camels, mostly because they keep wandering into my fortress somehow, getting cornered by random passersby and kicking them off the stairs. But in general, I think I'm going to have to agree about ravens. Every evil embark I've tried so far ends up besieged by undead ravens after they kill themselves by trying to fly while coated in gunk which makes them fall unconscious every few seconds until they break all their bones.

Tower of London FTW!
I'll have to obtain some ravens...
Or crows, that would be awesome too. Anyone round here know Krabat?

My boss is currently looking at me funny, made lol.

Want some fun?  Build a wall straight across the embark, end to end, preferably a cross shape in the center, with bridges on the edge to ensure full wall length.  Complete the walls to make a solid + sign, there should be no gaps.  On each inside corner, dig stairs straight down to the caverns or even HFS, making sure that it's totally walkable from top to bottom.

Animals will now migrate straight through your fortress as they attempt to move from one side of the map to the other, walking straight through HFS to reach that one patch of grass right over there.

What is your favorite colour?

Red.
NO FUCK BLUE.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The worst animals? I'd rather a few keas pinching from stockpiles than giant capybaras. I've seen those things perform rather intricate and most decidedly fatal vivisections on any dwarf they catch the scent of.
