Except the birds with precocious chicks. They’re pretty much all cute. For example, the baby killdeer is adorable. baby chicks and baby ducks are pretty cute too.
As I think about it, that’s a pretty good rule for most vertebrates(I exclude fish in this). If the newborn can walk around within an hour of being born or hatched, it’s a lot more likely to be incredibly cute. Deer, giraffe, elephant, horses are all pretty cute. Kangaroos(all marsupials, actually), rats, mice are all pretty ugly. You could start a flame war debating the relative cuteness of newborn humans, canines and felines in comparison. Though they get pretty cute fairly fast.

Damn, good point. Ducklings are adorable. And look at this little guy!
