Summary

Description
English: Water birds (Larus argentatus here) maintain and waterproof their feathers by smoothing with an oily substance produced by a gland called "uropygial" located near the anus. They may thus contribute to the spread of influenza virus. Author: F. Lamiot (Own Work)
Français : Les oiseaux d'eau (ici Larus argentatus) entretiennent et imperméabilisent leur plumage en le lissant avec une substance huileuse produite par une glande dite "uropygienne" située près de l'anus. Il est possible qu'ils contribuent ainsi à la dispersion de virus de la grippe. Author : F. Lamiot (Own Work)
