~~Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think those photos might've been edited.~~

~~I'm not an ornithologist but, according to the RSPB, this is what they look like:~~

I'm wrong, they do go like that sometimes.

I'm gonna need a few more pics. ๐Ÿค”

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

It turns out I'm wrong, they can get that fluffy.

I'm not convinced. I need more data. I'm open to collaborators. ๐Ÿค”

The bird would not be okay if you bounce it like a basketball

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

You can still throw them just fine, I'm sure.

Strong contender for favorite bird but unfortunately it's competition with penguins, so I'd say second place behind blue penguins

Thank you for letting me know these exist. Easily the best penguin.

The world must know their cuteness

Snow Fairy stays undefeated.

I feel like he should be called the Moustachioed reedling

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

Since I like facts and nobody answered, the bird is called a bearded reedling or bearded tit

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

They did not like mustachiod reedling?
