131. The Chinese reads 為人樂人,眾中言語多煩者,鸚鵅中來 “As a human, delighting in people and being quite disruptive by speaking in a group comes from having been a waterfowl” (Taishō 2881, p. 1382a20). It is unclear if 鸚鵅 means “waterfowl.” There is also no indication that this could mean “cuckoo.” It seems more likely that it means “parrot.”
