Japanese Bird That Looks Like A Flying Cotton Flower

April 18, 2025 by World News

JAPAN|

Many cute things have been seen all over the globe. We’ve seen everything from fluffier cats, to teacup birds who do splits! Today’s star is a Long-Tailed Tit bird. It is the cutest thing on earth! They are adorable with their fluffy white feather coat and small, cute eyes. It’s just that I want to hold it and give it lots of love!

These tiny birds are quite common in Europe and Asia. Their tiny bodies are complemented by their long tails. A typical adult is only 13-15 cm (5-6 inches) in length, with the tail which is about half that.


Japan has many preserved wildlife national parks. The second-largest island in Japan, Hokkaido, is home to a lot of preserved wildlife areas. It includes six national parks and 17 quasi-national and prefectural parks. There are many wildlife diversity that can be found there. Some of the long-tailed tits have brown or gray “eyebrows” and more brown in their feathers, but the ones that are found in Hokkaido have pure white faces.


This unique feature makes them look like a flying cotton ball, with black tails and wings. It looks like it came straight out of an animated 3D cartoon. These adorable little birds have owned their own unique name, Shima-enaga bird. It literally translates to “long-tailed island” bird, which is pretty much accurate.


This themed dessert looks so ADORABLE!! OMG!


You can find tons of little knick-knacks and treats themed around these small birds.
