AG for me too :) I have made you guys too smart. AH is good but AG is clearly better and more engaging. The main point again is that there is no one best head angle, just a best head angle for a given pose.
ps: Excellent points raised by all especially by Mike immediately above.

Based on head angle, which image do you prefer and why?

Looks good now.
I'm going to keep my vote for AI.
In AI the left foot is forward resulting in the body being parallel or slightly turned away from the viewer, but the head is still parallel with the sensor. I find that more pleasing and better as a portrait photo.
In AJ the right foot is forward and so the bird is turned toward the viewer and the head is turned towards the camera as well. Although there seems to be more engagement I don't like the head angle in AJ as much as in AI.
I like AJ
The Wigeon is making eye contact with you and the slight head turn makes me feel like I'm having a special little moment with the lovely looking bird.
In AI it looks like the quaker is just marching on by and I feel disassociated from it.
