Parrot [鸚鵡] (The first character has the fanqie wu + geng [烏耕反]; the second character has the fanqie wu + fu [無甫反], sometimes written as 䳇. The Shanhaijing states: "On Mount Huang there is a bird with green feathers, a red beak, and a human tongue that can speak, called the yingwu." The Quli says: "The parrot can speak, yet does not depart from being a flying bird." This is it).
