~~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.

And here's a picture of one during the summer when they're less fluffed up:

I'm gonna need a few more pics. 🤔

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not convinced. I need more data. I'm open to collaborators. 🤔

what about the tiny death metal face paint?

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

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

...how do you know with such certainty? 🤔😬

I feel like he should be called the Moustachioed reedling

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] jawa21@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

The world must know their cuteness

Snow Fairy stays undefeated.

[–] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

They did not like mustachiod reedling?
