So Adorable: Tiny Birds Like Fluffy Balls Are Known as ‘Snow Fairies’ of Japan

Japan, a beautiful country known for its cherry blossoms, Mount Fuji, sushi, and teppanyaki, is a must-see destination for many people. When planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip to this enchanting country, it’s essential to make sure you don’t miss out on any of its unique treasures.

One such treasure can be found on the island of Hokkaido, where a tiny and adorable species of bird called the Shima-enaga resides. This particular bird species can only be found in this region of Japan.

The Shima-enaga is a type of long-tailed tit with tiny black eyes, closely related to other tit species found in Europe and Asia. These birds are incredibly cute, resembling flying pieces of cotton candy. At first glance, they appear to be tiny toys, and while other closely related species can be found in various places in Europe and Asia, the white and fluffy ones are specific to this area.

Hokkaido island is well-known for its national parks and high number of bird populations, making it an ideal location for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. The park is rich in other wildlife as well, and all the animals living there have grown accustomed to tourists.

The Shima-enaga birds dislike cold areas, so as the colder season approaches, they require access to energy-rich food. As adults, they reach a size of 13-15 cm and weigh 7-9 grams. These birds also prefer to live in large flocks, leading a communal life, which means you will most likely spot them sitting together in sizable groups.

The unique and endearing appearance of the Shima-enaga has earned them the nickname ‘Snow Fairies’ of Japan, and it’s no wonder why tourists are enchanted by their presence. These delightful birds add a touch of magic to Hokkaido’s already breathtaking natural beauty, making them a must-see attraction for visitors.

So, if you ever find yourself on the picturesque island of Hokkaido, be sure to keep an eye out for these tiny and fluffy ‘Snow Fairies’ as they flutter and play, bringing joy and wonder to all who are lucky enough to witness their enchanting presence.
