As the title says, which one of the legendary birds was in your opinion the hardest to catch? In my opinion:

Articuno is a jerk. I've always had the most trouble with Articuno.

Zapdos is easy. I always catch him in less than 20 Ultra Balls.

Moltres is ok. I use like 30-50 Ultra Balls to catch it.

Definately agree with you there. I remember when I use to play the game with a passion and regularly, it always annoyed me at how difficult it was to catch Articuno.

Articuno for me.

It seems to be much more fragile than the other birds and Ice is generally a pretty good attacking type, which generally lessens the turn window that I have to capture it. In addition, the trial which you have to go through to reach Articuno is much longer and complex than simply climbing a mountain or walking through a Pokemon infested Lab.

Wait, nooo...I was supposed to pick Zapdos for the hardest Legendary bird, since Articuno is actually pretty easy. Zapdos always forces me to use a Master Ball, since I always attempt to capture him earlier on in the game.

It took me forever to reach him and catch him. Then Moltres was the next hardest to catch. Zapdos is always so easy to catch. I just paralyzed him and got his hp down real low and threw like ten ultraballs and five great balls before I finally caught him with a pokeball (I forgot to go to the Pokemart and I used most of my Ultraballs going in an electabuzz and pikachu catching frenzy, and then when I saw Zapdos I was like "Aw crap!" I thought I would have to restart a lot of times but I managed to catch him :D)

I always caught all of them quite easily. It was MewTwo I had the trouble with, as I used the Master Ball to catch...it was a mediocre Pokémon I really wanted in the Safari Zone, but I can't remember who it was now. A Pokémon I really wanted :] It was Zapdos I was most anxious about, though - I love Zapdos the best out of all of the legendaries. ♥

AAAAARRRGGGHHHHH! This brings back some terrible memories...On LG, I spent hours trying to catch Moltres...it just kept popping out! I hated it! One fateful day, I was borrowing my friends SP, and I couldn't take it anymore. I bashed the screen and went "OH ****!!!" I hated Moltres ever since then...

Possibly.... Articuno? I know y'all think that was the easiest :D

Heh... It cost me 10 000 buckaroons to catch this fothermucker.

Moltres was child's play.

Zapdos, was like picking up a fallen hair. Tricky, but not hard.
