Doildums
Created | Updated Sep 2, 2003
Doildums are big birds living around the equator
Wingspan about 15m and weight of about 200kg they are nearly the largest birds on earth (The Albatrosses win by a nose length).
The colouring is extraordinary, they have a silver color on their back and polarising blue on their belly.
Their wings have quill-feathers over the whole length, the feathers near the body overlapping their tail. The contour shape is like a half circle the beak near the center.
The female carries the egg in her belly pocket, you can see it while the only doildum having something like a belly is a female carrying an egg.
They feed mainly on air plankton, the tiny insects and seeds travelling the jetstream.
Oh yes, I nearly forgot to tell you: "They NEVER come down."
