6. The Chick And The Duck

It probably seems incredibly silly to include two pet birds on this list rather than fellow humans, but how can you deny these little guys a space? In all seriousness, the introduction of these "characters" ended up being way more than a simple attempt to drive up the cute factor, so they deserve a spot here.

So, these two bird babies were first shown in season 3's "The One With A Chick And A Duck" - go figure - where Joey buys the chick as a gift for Chandler. They soon added to this pile after Chandler went to take the chick back but returned with a fully-grown Duck.

These pets were more than just a joke, as they were a major part of Joey and Chandler's friendship. They gave the duo something to share and take care of, leading to a sense of co-dependency that helped grow their relationship.

Naturally, ducks and chicks aren't the most conventional houseguests, so they delivered on plenty of goofy and ridiculous moments. Still, it was their importance to Joey and Chandler that gives them a spot here.
