Crested myna (鸜鵒: the first character has the fanqie ju + ju; it is also written with 句 as 鴝; the second character is pronounced yu; the crested myna is like a thrush, black in colour, distinguished by having mottled white markings on its wings and feathered horns above its frontal beak; the Yiyuan says: 'Clipping the tongue of a crested myna on the fifth day of the fifth month enables it to learn human speech'; the Huainanzi says: 'The 鴝鵒 is also called 寒鼻 [cold-nose]'; the Shuowen notes that both are phono-semantic characters; it also says: 'The crested myna does not cross the Ji River').
