myrmepropagandistI have also started tagging fat birds when I see them on iNaturalist.
Not everything I do makes sense.

I don't know much about birds. But fat round birds make me happy. So, I'm making a collection of the fattest birds I can find.
Jo Wolfe, PhDI've got a suggestion: kererลซ (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae)
The Sleight Doctor ๐๐@futurebird When it fluffs up its feathers, the adorably named Japanese snow fairy is almost spherical.
You're welcome. ๐
@futurebird I thought you'd like that one. ๐คญ
The bearded reedling, found in both Europe and Asia, is another cutie when it fluffs itself up to keep warm.
schizobovine@futurebird as a fellow #borb enjoyer thank you for sharing these with the world
Shar(yna)Tran/Shark(aeopteryx)@futurebird I humbly submit for your collection the Chukar partridge: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/253673339
and the South Island takahฤ: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/207884098
also I bet iNaturalist has some extremely spherical kiwis!
... more like chunkar partridge
mathew@futurebird You might like this borb I met in England. I'm saving it for our next round robin letter.
Fanfalla 
@futurebird Hard agree. Borbs are delightful.
epilonious@futurebird in Suburban Georgia, a college bestie turned roommate gazed outside the door to the back yard and said:
"Oh! Fat robin: you are fat."
He moved (nearby, then far away, then nearby again) but we still gleefully update each other annually about the state of any Fat Robin(s) we may come across.
They are Still Fat.
