Animals And My New Favorite Bird Of the Day Is...
Posted by Lindy West on Mon, Feb 22, 2010 at 11:36 AM
JUST SOME HELLA HELLA CUTE BIRDS MARSHMALLOWS, Y'ALL!
TITS!
Shit. Look at those fuckers.
The weird thing about a really cute bird is—what do you do with it? You can't snuggle with it or it will be squished. You can't really pet it because it's golf-ball-sized and it can fly. It can't speak English because it doesn't have lips and its brain is made of a Sweet Tart. All you can do is look at it and feel unfulfilled. Still, though. Marshmallows. TITS. New favorite bird of the day.
Via Cute Overload, thanks to Slog tipper Allie.

I think those are long-tailed tits (i think...). Europe/Asia. We have a bird here in Seattle that's very closely related and does many of the same cute things. It's the bushtit, and it goes around in Very Cute flocks too.
Bushtits are grey puffballs and have somewhat shorter tails. They may be slightly less cute than white puffballs.

Too cute to poop.
Nonplussed by the 236-plus comments at cuteoverload. You guys are clearly in the wrong business with your downer posts about new urbanism and all.

now bored housewives around the country will be demanding these poor things in such numbers that tit mills will work overtime cranking out these tiny songbirds... :)

cockles and tits in butter sauce has gotta be a national dish somewhere.

We can always breed them bigger, about the size of an ostrich. (I'm sure there's a 'that's what she said' joke in there).

Lindy, that is the rub of birds: THEY ALWAYS FLY AWAY BEFORE YOU CAN GRIP THEM AND PET THEM. I still love them, though.

I at first honestly thought the little white and red clumps on the branch were bloody bird remnants half-eaten by their evil bird brothers.

The consensus from cute overload seems to be that they're long-tailed tits.
And apparently pet starlings do like to cuddle (youtube video, with music).

I dunno, these look photoshopped to me. I can tell from some of the pixels and having seen a lot of 'shops.

Bushtits like to come into my backyard in huge sudden flocks, so all at once the backyard is alive with tiny grey Peeps, all hopping and peeping and fluttering about. My cats line up in a row, getting noseprints all over the windows, and chirruping like maniacs. My cats love living Peeps, too, but in a very different way...

I am surprised that no one has said this yet, but Lindy, thank you for sharing pictures of your adorable tits.
