Tropes I don't like

Cringe Comedy - half the time, the cringe is non-existent and I symphasise with the supposedly-cringy character. The other half, the cringe is so bad I can't watch.
Extreme Doormat - not all the time, but when they don't develop out (mainly used for sex appeal), I just hate it. Seriously, make them question something.
Feather Fingers - yes, birds have wings instead of hands. No, they cannot grab stuff with them. If you're designing an avian character, please take some time to tackle the task creatively.
Hollywood Autism and The Rain Man - Ugh... autism =/= naturally gifted. I still had to learn how to write, and I'm still learning how to draw. Do some research first.
Humanoid Female Animal: Some consistency, please!
Non-Mammalian Mammaries - seriously, if you need a visual difference between your male and female birds and reptiles, use colour palettes (duller for females 90% of the time) or the waist.
Take That! - if your comedy depends on insulting real-life things that are sidenotes (or less) in your work, then it'll get dated and boring within a week.
