Who doesn’t love birbs? No, we’re not misspelling that. Birbs is an affectionate term used on the Internet to refer to our feathered friends. What qualifies as a birb? According to Audubon (www.audubon.org/news/when-bird-birb-extremely-important-guide):

 The subreddit r/birbs [www.reddit.com/r/Birbs] defines a birb as any bird that’s “being funny, cute, or silly in some way.” Urban Dictionary [www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=birb] has a more varied set of definitions, many of which allude to a generalized smallness. A video on the YouTube channel Lucidchart [https://youtu.be/FpCXlBWA6do] offers its own expansive suggestions: “All birds are birbs, a chunky bird is a borb, and a fluffed-up bird is a floof.”

Birb, borb, or floof, we love them all. #BirbsForever
