Urðarbrunnr, one of the wells, is inhabited by two birds. Since everything that comes into contact with the holy water
turns white immediately, the birds, too, are white as snow.
The two white birds swimming in the well of Urðr are called "swans" — and they have descendants found all over this earth:
