A bird-obsessed farmer is helping his "best friends" — a quartet of exotic quails — get famous by posting TikToks of the birds dressed in tiny hats.

Bernard Henry, 28, has 52 themed bonnets for his Mearns quails. The birds are named Finn, Quinn, Jake, and Daisy.

Henry started raising birds when he was 17 and has 150 feathered friends, including peacocks, chickens, ducks, and button quails, roaming around his Connecticut farm.

The Mearns quails have separate lodgings from the rest of the farm's birds. Finn, Quinn, Jake, and Daisy stay close to Henry, residing in their own room in the farmer's house.
