I'm so glad someone else asked this question! :)
I searched on the net today and only found these:
Mozilla Firefox
Matematicko-Fyzikalni Fakulta (Czech Republic)
Military Free Fall (parachuting)
Midwest FurFest
Mobile Field Force (Baltimore County Police Department)
Military Front for Families
Malmö Fotbollsförening (Swedish soccer club) and I'm a student of life sciences too!
cheers,

What is a MFF?
Having only lived in Canberra for 2.5 years I am still catching up with
the local colloquialisms and secret language that seems to have evolved
here.
I do love the white headed pigeons, unfortunately one of the most
efficient birds at spreading camphor laurel further up the country.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Durras & Coast
Attached is photo of a MFF taken recently at Durras. A resident at the
Sth
Durras Resort regularly puts out seed and may attract up to 20 White
headed
Pigeons at a time, along with Crimson & Eastern Rosellas, Black Ducks,
Wood
Ducks, King Parrots & Galahs, plus the odd 'roo. A recent addition to
the
MFF has been up to 8 Spotted Turtle Doves which seem to be increasing in
numbers in recent months and may be establishing a foothold here. Is
this
of concern, i.e. will they displace native birds in this pristine region
(e.g.the White headed Pigeons)?
Other recent sightings down there were a grey morph Eastern Reef Egret
at
Mill Point (Murramarang Resort) and a dozen Little Terns which landed
less
than 10 metres from me while I was fishing on Jemison's Beach (Potato
Point).
