    Most of the time I catch the region's bird Pokémon end up taking it with me to the Pokémon League.

    Pidgeot, Swellow, Unfezant... they all proved to be very strong members of my team. I loved how fast Swellow was. And Unfezant turned out to be quite good. : D The only thing that I found annoying was that the bird Pokémon came so late in Black. |D
    I ended up catching/training a Hoothoot in Jotho once, since I tend to play during the evening... but Pidgey is better. õ_õ

    I always catch a Starly when I play in Sinnoh.

    In Unova I did use a Pidove throughout the game (one with Super Luck) until I got an Archen.

    I always catch them, well except Pidove, because of Unfezant's lousy design.

    Braviary has replaced Unfezant in my mind of birds that represent Unova.

    Well considering Flying types are my favourite I always catch and train them from the beginning in my team, Pidgey, Taillow, Starly, Pidove.

    I generally catch them because of their availability at the beginning of the game, and also because I always select the Water type starter, so I sort of am in a need for a Pokemon to check Grass type Pokemon (though at the same time having two Pokemon weak to Electric isn't good haha :P). Later on in the game they are unfortunately replaced by Pokemon with better movepool, or essentially because I feel like a change. :)

    Pidgey -> Dragonite
    Hoothoot -> Dragonite (again xD)
    Taillow -> Salamence
    Starly -> Togekiss
    Pidove -> Braviary

    Yes, in every games I catch the Region Bird Pokémon ...
    Actually I often use Fly, so if I don't have a bird Pokémon in my "official team", that means that each time I wanna go in another city I have to deposit a Pokémon and withdraw a flying type in the Pokécenter... Meh. That would quickly become annoying.

    I used Starly in Platinum (right now, a Staraptor) and Pidove in White (right now, a Tranquill, was supposed to be a part of my team, but changed with Duosion. Tranquill is used to Fly).

    Flying-types are vital to my team every time, so I catch them as early as possible. Most of the time, such as with Starly in Platinum and Pidgey in Red, as soon as I catch them I'll just run around with them until they evolve, and get them right up to level 19 before I fight the first gym. I love bird Pokémon. I have to say, Taillow and Swellow were always my favourites.

    I will always have a Pidgeot by the end of Gold or FireRed. Pidgey was my first catch! I still remember it. I was leaving New Bark Town after the Rival fight, and I come across a birdy. So I use Tackle twice, and it's almost dead. And, coz I'm not mean, I catch it!

    It was my favourite Pokemon of the game, until I headbutted my way to my Aipom, who is now level 100 and easily able to defeat the elite 4 by himself.

    The one I use to fly in B&W currently is a majestic Braviary... Seriously, I love that Egale pokemon <3 I always prefer Rufflet and it's evolution: Braviary over Pidove and it's evolutions any day...

    I catch bird Pokémon when I first time encounter it because I know I'm going to use it on later game - in every generation. Bird Pokémon are also pretty fast and they are good Pokémon to battle with.

    The only one I HAVEN'T used would be Pidove. mainly because of it's stats. If its movepool were more focused on physical attacks, that would be great, or, keep the movepool, and just make it's special attack higher; a lot higher. It'd be great, then.

    While I do capture and train up a Bird Pokémon so that I can use it as a HM Fly slave, I never kept one on my main fighting team. I try and not keep anything with HMs on my main fighting team for some reason, just never liked it.

    I had a shiny jolly staraptor in my Platnium run, very lucky to have.

    It had a good move set
    Close Combat, Brave Bird, Fly, and Return.
