Reposted by SamFoxfeather Zenkova @foxfeather.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Maximum round! Did you know 'borb' shape has a purpose? (Other than looking ridiculously cute) When birds become round fluffs, they trap a layer of warm air in their downy underfeathers, shielded by outer feathers, insulating themselves to stay toasty even in extreme cold! Cute and convenient! 🪶 4409117
