ry commented on the word borb
a borb is a round or round-presenting (as with ruffed feathers) birb. Often applied to small passerine birbs such as the (exemplary) bearded tit, any of various kinglets or bullfinches.
For some reason New Zealand boasts a plethora of medium-sized borbs, including the kiwi, the weka and takahe.
Possibly from a melding of birb+orb
