Biology
Just from looking at Kirby, we can tell they can spit things out as stars or copy enemies' abilities (or even drop them at will). The odd thing is that Meta-Knight, who looks like a Blue Kirby, is never shown to have these abilities, leading to tons of fan questioning and speculation that has not been confirmed.

Other terminology
Some people don't think Kirby's species are called Kirbys. Less controversial terms include puffballs and creampuffs.
