At this time, every time you pass through Tsukuda Park, you often see a few nagas flocked, singing with a slightly hoarse voice, such as "Ge", "Ge", and "Ge", and flying around.
(It is said that in the spring, it is also observed that they screamed with an adorable voice such as "Kuriri ...")
This time, I found pom, which I thought was the turn.
Apparently, May-July seems to be the breeding season.
As the name comes from, Onaga has a long tail feather, a smart body shape, and a neat feather color, but surprisingly a resident bird belonging to the crow family.
It is also interesting that the distribution area of Onaga is considered to be two distant regions (enclave distribution) at both east and west ends of the Eurasian Continent.
In Japan, it is currently inhabited locally north of central Honshu and is very common in the Kanto region, but it is said that there are many places where this species is not distributed in neighboring areas.
They live in mountains, villages, green areas, parks, etc., act in flocks, and feed is considered omnivorous.
The body length is 34-39cm, the tail feather is 20-30cm, and the head and body are large starlings.
Black as if you were wearing a hood completely from the tip to the back of the head.
It is grayish white from the neck, throat to the chest.
The wings and tail feathers are blue-gray, the back is pale grayish brown, and the same sex color.
When flying, the long tail stands out well, and it looks more gliding than flying.
In addition, like other birds of the Crow family, they have high learning ability and are very cautious.
In addition, it has been reported that they are often nested in cuckoos.
