Pinyin: Yu

Interpretation: It is also a bird, with tawny or black feathers, long mouth and feet, dark brown upper body and horizontal spots on its tail and side. It often catches small fish and shellfish by the water or in the fields.

Source: Tibetan proverb: snipe is like quail, with light color and long mouth. The voice of the sniper in the mud coating is transformed from chickens and quails of villagers in Tian Yun. This is Su Qin's so-called "stalemate". Shi Zhen said, "Shuo Wen" said: A snipe knows that it will rain, so it knows that astronomers are crowned snipes. There are birds in the field today. If it doesn't rain, they will call.

Basic introduction:

1. It is a kind of waterfront bird, small and medium-sized, with gray and brown feathers, but not gorgeous. The head is round, the beak is changeable, and the length is different, but most of them are slender. The upper and lower mouth ends are nearly flush, and there is no hook (the mouth end of the colored snipe is slightly bent). The short mouth has many humps, the long one is straight or curved up and down, and some mouth ends are slightly soft.

2. Wings are slender and long, and they are good at flying. Primary flight feathers 1 1 (the first flight feather is degraded), and the fourth and fifth secondary flight feathers are arranged intermittently. The tail is short and round, and the tail feathers are mostly 12. The feet are long, the lower tibia is exposed, and the hind toes of four-toed people are small and high, so they can't hold the front toes, and most of them don't touch the ground when standing (except for the colorful snipe family and the petal snipe family).
