Mnemonic

Whenever all the feathers start standing, you know it's time for the next day. Once the day comes to its end, all feathers start standing up like clockwork.

Hints

Imagine every single feather simultaneously standing up once the next day gets closer. It's like some kind of ritual that's repeated at the end of every single day. Must be stressful to be a feathered animal!

Mnemonic

With the next day approaching and all feathers standing up, you get ready to drink your usual liter of yolk (よく). Yes, you heard that right.

Hints

Imagine having to drink an entire liter of egg yolk at the end of each day. Just like the feathers have their ritual of standing up, you have your own ritual of downing a liter of egg yolk. Just don't ask questions.
