Most bird species are pretty interesting – each species have unique and extravagant feathers, as well as elaborate mating routines. It’s impossible not to be in awe of nature when you look at all the different bird species.

But the Bearded Reddling birds are definitely the cutest little things to catch our attention. Not only are the palm-sized little birds that are quite fluffy, but they also can do the splits! Yes, that is correct, these little egg-shaped birds can do the splits.
