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.
He eats like a bird.
This doesn't mean he eats worms and seeds! A mother might be worried if her son or daughter eats like a
bird. It means that the boy or girl eats very little and is very fussy (挑剔) about food.
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
different. They like to be with other birds of the same kind. People are like this, too. We always make friends
with people who have things in common with us.
His chickens have come home to roost (栖息).
This means that he has problems now because of bad things he did before. If you play computer games and
sleep all afternoon when you should be studying for your exams, you will fail your exam. Then your friends can
say that your chickens have come home to roost.
