Glande uropygienne
Description:
Summary[edit] 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.
