BREAKING NEWS

I just learned about a bird species called Golden Plover. Their chicks have an amazing camouflage: their baby fluff resembles MOSS!

LOOK AT THEM! JUST LOOK AT THEM!

…Oh to be a tiny golden plover lying in the moss safe and sound waiting for your mom to bring you some worms…

ATTENTION: IT IS NOW TIME FOR MOSS

Reminds me of the “Tapera Naevia” aka Striped Cuckoo whose chicks look like Pine Cones, so now we have “Moss Birb” and “Pine Cone Birb”

CONIFEROUS BIRB!!!!

I looked up “roundest bird” and i dont know what i expected but im crying.

Look at it. Its called a bearded reedling

Look at them. Theyre so spherical. So round. Why is your face in the middle of your body sir. I cannot believe this bird is real.

I imagine i could bounce one like a basketball and it would be perfectly fine.

This bird is perfect. This is my new favourite bird
