I have also started tagging fat birds when I see them on iNaturalist.

Not everything I do makes sense.

I don't know much about birds. But fat round birds make me happy. So, I'm making a collection of the fattest birds I can find.

@futurebird When it fluffs up its feathers, the adorably named Japanese snow fairy is almost spherical.

You're welcome. 😁

@ApostateEnglishman

YES!

More fat birds. And fatter fat birds. MORE!

@futurebird I thought you'd like that one. 🤭

The bearded reedling, found in both Europe and Asia, is another cutie when it fluffs itself up to keep warm.
