It is said that girls adore boys’ beards. They love to touch it, feel it and that is why several men try to have a decent beard even if they might not personally like it. However, it turns out that not only in the human world but also in the animal world there are some birds with beards and the only difference is that their beard is more likely two whiskers that we often see our granddads’ wearing. However, with their cute whiskers and the round shape, the Bearded Reedling or the Panurus biarmicus is sure to be your next favourite bird in the list and we thought of sharing some facts about them.
The peculiar marks like mustaches on these breadcrumbs have given them a serious but equally adorable look and these marks are visible only among the males of this species while the females have only a slightly dark beak than the males.
