🔥 TOP-TEN SEXIEST BIRDS LET'S GO! 🔥

10. Lilac-breasted Roller. A no-brainer. This bird will knock your damn socks off. It has colors I'm not entirely sure we have words for.

9. Steller's Eider. Entire YouTube makeup tutorials are devoted to the smokey eye. Too bad this duck perfected it 15 million years ago.

8. Marvelous Spatuletail. When commitment to looking sexy gets a bit out of hand and you casually evolve a tail twice as long as your body? That will earn you the number 8 spot.
