我々に親しみ深い鳥たち

Birds familiar to us.

最初の写真はカナダで撮った写真だけど、鳩はどこにでもたくさんいますね。

子供たちにも愛されています

The first picture is the picture taken in Canada, but there are many pigeons everywhere, aren't there?

It's loved by children, too.

有る時、日本に来たばかりの中国人の女性が、鳩がこんなにたくさん、何故日本人はこの鳩を食べないんですか?という質問をされたことがあります。

The female of the time and the Chinese who has just come to Japan who has that, pigeon, so much, why doesn't Japanese eat this pigeon? You have done the question which says so.

日本人には鳩を食べる習慣はありません。

次は近くの川でよく見かける黒い鳥、川鵜でしょうか?

水に潜っては小魚を捕まえて飲み込んでいます

Is the next the black chicken and river cormorant across which you often come at a river around here?

Since diving in water, a fry is caught and understood.
