bird legs
Feathered walking appendages
Bird legs are unusually thin legs on a person, suggesting the slender, stick-like limbs of birds.
The term is mildly teasing, often directed at men whose upper bodies appear disproportionately developed compared to their legs: He skips leg day—total bird legs.
Also used self-deprecatingly: I can't wear shorts with these bird legs.
