I feel comfortable in the soft sunlight of winter.

White turtles are said to account for the majority of seagull species that come to Japan as winter birds.

The feet and beak are red, the winter feathers have a white head, and black spots behind the eyes, and have a charming face.

Like other seagull, it is omnivorous and seems to eat small fish and aquatic insects.

The wings are the life of birds. Wild birds' feathers are meticulous, and once they start, they do quite a bit.

The pipe part where the lilies are lined up is pure white.

Birds have no bladder or external urethra holes, and excretes urine together with feces.

What looks white is the crystal of uric acid, which is the final product of protein metabolism.
