11 Birds That Are So Round They'll Roll Straight Into Your Heart

Cute animals come in many shapes – some are highly athletic, some are adorably pudgy, and these guys are perfectly spherical and amazingly fluffy animals. Call ‘em birds, or birbs, or orbs. Give ‘em names. But no one can take that smolness and birbness away.

The Pink Robin It's Just So Round: The Pink Robin is a small tubby bird, and is easily over-looked, being quieter than other robins. Males are brownish-black above, with a black throat and head. There is a small white spot above the bill, which is a buff spot on the female. Males have a diagnostic pink wash on the breast which extends right down under the belly. Females are a warm olive-brown above, with cinnamon buff underparts with a pinkish tint. Females and young birds have diagnostic buff wing patches. This species has a plain dark tail, lacking the white edges of other Petroicarobins.
