Many British people like to go bird-watching in their free time. That's why there are many English sayings
about birds. Read the following to learn about them.

Birds of a feather flock (群集) together.
You never see a peacock with a crow (孔雀和乌鸦在一起), or a goose with an eagle. These birds are very

His chickens have come home to roost (栖息).
