@austin_ajit

It’s time to learn some facts. Very important facts. A bird (aves) is a species of feathered, winged, bipedal creature descended from the manoraptorian dinosaurs. A birb (aves, subfamily birbiformes) is a kind of bird that looks silly/cute to such extremes that they instantly melt both hearts and warp the fabric of spacetime. A borb (subcategory of birb) is a birb who has converged into an orb, for ultimate surface area reduction. Most borbs are also floofs . See photos below:
