After a certain age people stop asking you what your favorite dinosaur is, and I think that’s sad.
My current one’s the Anchiornis, because it’s in the same clade as birds so it’s in their family tree, and it really looks like a prototype of a bird. It had 4 wings for example, but it already looked very birb-y:

My daughter is obsessed with dinosaurs right now and this is my go-to favorite, too. Hers was Parasaurolophus but now is back to T-Rex lol.
Came here to say Parasaurolophus. Apparently one well-preserved specimen allowed scientists to take a stab at what it sounded like… I wish I could hear what the soundscape was like 65 million years (or more) ago! https://piped.video/watch?v=QtpSOpUDCb8
