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

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

Suddenly the Angry Bird designs make more sense.

Now we just need a slingshot.

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

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

I need to see it flying!

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 on 17 Jul 18:45 next collapse

I feel like he should be called the Moustachioed reedling

MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.works on 17 Jul 22:32 next collapse

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

wildcardology@lemmy.world on 19 Jul 16:05 collapse

They did not like mustachiod reedling?
