It is a duck. It is named tzitziua because of the feathers growing from its rump; among its tail feathers are two very white ones, located one above the other. A third, a small [white] one, stands between them. Their points are curved; they turn upward. Its head is ashen; its neck, its throat white. Following down the back of its neck, it is ashen. Its breast is white, its tail ashen; its feet black, wide, and small. It does not rear its young here; it also migrates. Neither does it come singly; there are many. Their flesh is edible, good-tasting, savory, [and] not fishy.
