Amused by these birds

who are the most unusual ones here. Their bellies are fur, they have unusual hairstyles, red feet and very long tails.

They sit on branches as if they are sitting on chairs with the tail balanced on another branch. always appearing in groups.

Wow they really are different birds, it seems strange to see fur and not feathers. Great capture of them in their habitat

What an amazing photo of them and I am so glad to learn They balance their tails on a branch. The exciting thing for me is because of your photography. I guessed what they were before I read the tag.

[Renee Salamon]

Amazing birds - what are they called?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

How funny- they look like a cross between a Cardinal and a Scissortail to me but I don't think I ever would have named them "Mousebird".

[Paula Fontanini]

Odd but super cute little birds. What a great photo!
