alright furries i was drawing a bird and now i have a question. what do ppl with bird fursonas call themselves. birds dont have fur and reptile/dragon ppl call themselves scalies so is there an equivalent for avian animals. featheries? birdies? squwakies? tweeties? chirpies? screamies? seriously tell me im at an impasse here. u wanna watch me u gotta answer my stupid normie questions, its the law
Furries are furries. Birbs are most common among bird-fursona'd people I've seen, but it's not like. a mandated thing. It's just a fun distinction under the furry umbrella term, with scalies, furries, mechs, cetas, birbs, etc. etc, being just that. Subcultures to the Furry fandom and its culture.
Sorry for getting all philosophical culture on you -- took an interpersonal communications class this semester. little bit of an eye-opener to understanding this :P
