About the "Little Fat Birds"

Long-tailed tits (Aegithalos caudatus) are small passerine birds from the family Aegithalidae. They are a protected bird species in China with significant ecological, scientific and social value. These birds have small and lovely bodies, with white, fluffy heads, dark eyes, and short and thick beaks. When they curl up into a ball, they're like "sticky rice dumplings", thus affectionately known as "Little Fat Bird" or "Flying Tangyuan" by bird enthusiasts.
