The Bearded Reedling (Panurus biarmicus) is a peculiar small passerine bird. It is also frequently known as the Bearded Tit due to some similarities to Long-tailed Tits, or Bearded Parrotbill. According to recent research, it is a unique songbird - no other living species seems to be particularly closely related to it and it is placed in its own monotypic family (Panuridae).

The Bearded Reedling is a species of temperate Europe and Asia. This species is a wetland specialist, breeding colonially in large reedbeds by lakes or swamps. It eats reed aphids in summer, and reed seeds in winter, its digestive system actually changing to cope with the very different seasonal diets.
