May I ask - are non-parrot bird photos allowed?

Haha, well in that case - what could be floofier than a baby barn owl?

LOVE THIS THEME! Kiwi always seems to be sporting a "floofie" (we call them pickers), either on the underside of his lower mandible like a beard or on top of his head like the big goofball he is:D

Gilbert's floofies end up on the dog's nose or stuck in the corner of their eye......I am always picking them off the dogs. (They are so tiny, they fit under his cage and look for any crumbs in between my vacuuming. They emerge with floofie face.)

Aww darn, I Just missed this!! Raven had one on his head a few days ago!

Floofies ON my birds don't happen often, despite them being all over the floor! I clean of course, but it's that way immediately again. I suppose it's like dog hair on couches lol.

Ok, so not technically a floofie (they don't stick to her very often)...but here's a funny picture

**just for fun, not an official entry**

Ha! I've been to your home, Wendy! As freakishly pristine as you keep that place, good luck finding another single floofie, much less lots! Hahaha!
