What is a Shima Enaga (AKA the Long Tailed Bushtit)?
Hey borb enthusiasts and nature lovers! Today, let’s take a delightful dive into the enchanting world of the Shima Enaga Borb, a pint-sized bundle of charm that’s capturing hearts with its unique flair!
Native to the picturesque Shima Peninsula in Japan, the Shima Enaga, or Long-tailed Tit, is a feathered marvel that stands out in the avian crowd. With its petite size and a tail longer than your morning to-do list, this little bird packs a whole lot of personality into its fluffy frame.
One of its most endearing features is its unmistakable monochrome ensemble, resembling a feathery tuxedo that’s ready for a black-tie affair in the treetops. And oh, those eyes! Shima Enagas boast a pair of beady, inquisitive eyes that could melt the iciest of hearts.
But it’s not just about looks with these avian charmers – their social antics are the real showstoppers. Shima Enagas are the social butterflies of the bird world, forming tight-knit family groups that flit and flutter through the foliage like a synchronized aerial dance troupe. If birds had their own version of a social media platform, these guys would undoubtedly be the influencers of the avian world.
What’s truly fascinating is their cooperative nesting behavior. Picture this: a cozy, intricately woven nest suspended from the branches, a true masterpiece of avian architecture. It’s a family affair, with every member pitching in to create the perfect home sweet home.
Their Borb Score
And how do they fair on the Borb Score? Well in terms of Borb, Shima Enagas are sometimes the literal DEFINITION of the word Bird-Orb. Their round, fluffy appearance definitely earns them high marks in the bird-orb category. And their petite size and cute round shape turn them into the silliest little snowballs from certain angles. In fact, I have trouble imagining a much more orbular borb than a Shima Enaga!
In Pop Culture!
One thing that I have been admiring in recent weeks, has been the surprising ubiquity of these little snowballs around the world. They may not be as popular as Frogs and Hot-Topic, but they’re definitely on their rise to stardom. Pretty exciting for the Borb community, for sure!
Shopping at Daiso, you can find anything from Shima Enaga Socks to Shima Enaga Stickers. And on Amazon, I got myself a little Shima Enaga borb teaset, just for the budgies to drink out of. (Its a business expense, right?). Go buy yourself some Shima Enaga Themed things today, so that Borbs can become more commonplace!
