鸚鵡(上鳥耕反下音武下又作䳇同山海經云黃山有鳥青羽赤喙人舌能作人語名曰鸚鵡曲禮曰鸚鵡能言不離飛鳥)。

Parrot (鸚鵡: for the upper, niǎo + gēng [yīng]; the lower is pronounced wǔ; the lower is also written as 䳇 with the same [meaning]. The Shanhaijing says, "On Mount Huang there is a bird with green feathers, a red beak, and a human-like tongue capable of speaking human speech; it is called parrot (鸚鵡)." The Quli says, "Though a parrot can speak, it does not cease to be a flying bird").
