We all know that baby chickens are adorable. Like, super frickin’ adorable. Their little yellow bodies with their downy, fluffy feathers capture the hearts of everyone they meet.
But it turns out, there’s an even tinier breed of baby birds out there making their way into the world of itty-bitty cuties: button tail quails.
For comparison, here’s a baby chicken and baby button quail side by side.
Freshly hatched, they’re easily dwarfed by our human hands.
In fact, you can comfortably fit quite a few of them in your palms.
Seriously, look at how tiny!
That’s quite a stumble for such a little thing.
Way better than a Barbie.
As they get older, they never really grow out of their easily portable size.
Even as adults, they can still totally chill in your safe hands.
And they also happen to be pretty darn gorgeous.
Can you imagine holding so much majesty in the palm of your hand?

It never ceases to amaze me how such tiny creatures can pack in such a huge amount of adorable. I want to fill my whole living room with them.
