Whats up with the occasional puffy cheeks? Is this just feather fluffing? Overweight? Secret chipmonk-esk anatomical feature? hahaha Guessing of course its just feather fluff, but just curious.

I mean that is assuming that he's not like that all the time... that would indicate he's sick. but they can get fluffy if they are sick, sad, upset, happy... My guys do it when they're playing or settling down for the evening, but I know they are not sick and they do not stay that way.

Looks like a "Nutriberries? - Nope, haven't seen them," kind of look (with one tucked in each cheek)!
