The Beautiful Black-Throated Bushtit Bird Is Making Us Wonder ‘Did I Read That Right?’

This bird is called the black-throated bushtit, and no, we’re not making it up. Also known as the black-throated tit, the beautiful fellow is only about 10.5 centimeters (4 inches) small and 4-9 grams (0.14-0.317 ounces) light.

Taiwanese wildlife photographer Chen Chengguang, who specializes in bird photography, has captured these birdies in ways that really do them justice. The fluffy and colored plumage is so clear in Chengguang’s images, you can’t help but imagine what it would be like to pet these adorable critters.
