　In the city center, the first half of the week of February 18 was sunny from April to May, with a maximum temperature of 23.7 ° C on the 20th, but in the second half, it was still cold repeatedly, such as returning to the cold of midwinter When I remember, when I suddenly look at the sparrows who live close to humans, I notice that this time look somewhat plump.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　In order to protect yourself from the cold, the feathers are inflamed, a layer of air inside is created, and the neck is buried there to keep it warm.　The appearance of the sparrow during the cold season is called "Fukura Sparrow", and it seems to have been regarded as lucky items, which expresses richness from its appearance. Characters such as "Fukurajaku" and "Fuki Sparrow" are also applied.　　　　　　　　The Japanese white-eye, which I saw in the precincts of Sumiyoshi Tsukuda-jinja Shirine and near first gate, has the same "fu plum" and "mofumofu" appearance, and the viewers are relaxing.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Like many birds, Japanese white-eye eats insects in spring and summer and nuts in autumn and winter, but flower nectar is a favorite, and carries honey entangled with a brush-shaped tongue into his mouth.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　In recent years, with the expansion of green space in central Tokyo centered on flowers and trees, the environment for flower nectar sources has been improving, and it seems to be one of the factors that made Japanese white-eye more common in the vicinity.
