er… ‘quacks.’
Maggie from Australia writes: "They are Pacific Black ducklings, native to Australia, who we rescued after they fell into the man-made water feature outside our home and couldn’t get out again [they were only a few days old and were a long way from flying]….This picture was taken one night when we’d returned the ducklings to their temporary sanctuary in our guest bathroom. Lucy, our 3 year old beagle, was fascinated by them and whimpered for hours after they were taken away – she missed her little mates."

The baby ducks should be releases to the wild later this month…
Thanks so much, Maggie.

So then I was all "bok!" and she was all "Bokeee!", and I was all, "no bokking way!" and she was all "bok." and I was all "GET OUT—you did not just bok!" and she was all "bok."

That pun was so bad this site deserves to be torn to SHREDS!And why is this owl cross-eyed? Dizzy from his own Cuteness™ perhaps?
Hey—I just had a great idea—what if you printed this photo out, cut out the owl face, taped it onto your own face, and went about your daily business? Try it Monday morning at the office!

If there was a casting call for Pigwidgeon, this guy would be a winner.Our thanks and virtual chocolate frogs go to Paul, who submitted this tiny fluffy (feathered?) wonder.PS. If you don’t know who Pigwidgeon is, you haven’t read your Harry Potter books carefully enough. Shame on you.

…and now that the high-pitched squeals of cuteness worship have died down, you may be interested to know that the official name for this species is Eastern Phoebe (Sayornis Phoebe). We at Cute Overload pride ourselves on highly educational and informative content. Discovery Channel has nothing on us.This magnificent picture is only a small part of Professor Bill Eddleman’s wildlife photography portfolio.

I know, I know, we don’t have enough cute damn birds on the site. I keep hearing about that and the lack of piglets. Do you know how hard it is to find a suitable cute piglet for this site? Do you people know I have a full time job? Well at least one problem is solved; thank the lo’ for Ms. Kay Webster, who submitted this teeny, tiny, tired Bummingherd. So prosh.
