When I was 7, my parents used to take me and my brother to the McDonald's Playplace for lunch with this other couple and their kids. The older one was a spastic and would hide in the corner of the fenced-in area with a French fry in his hand and hold completely still for 5 or 6 minutes until a bird landed to eat the fry. Then, he'd clasp his hands shut around the bird, wait until it stopped resisting, and shove it into his pocket so he could bring it inside the plastic castle and force it to go down the slide.
Depends on the bird. Catching pigeons is extremely easy, you could probably catch a handful, while bigger Black folk like swans, turkeys or roosters aren't just smarter, they can and will fight back.
Ah, the ever-enlightening idiom "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"! This saying, my friend, is all about appreciating what you already have in the moment. Essentially, it means that it's better to have a guaranteed small win than to risk it all for a potential big win that may not happen. Basically, don't be greedy!
Nobody ever told me what it meant and I didn't really care enough to look it up. I didn't really care, but now I know. How is that being stupid? Should I just know everything
the real meaning is that while hunting the action of shooting one of the birds will scare the other away so you're never going to end up catching both birds.
Different situations. >Actions speak louder than words
That one can imply spoken, not written >Look before you leap
That one just implies to take a moment, not to hesitate.

Stop choking your chicken, others are watching.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
So which do you pick?
The two in the bush. Then you hold one in each hand and now you have 4 birds.
seggs
nice try layton, but if i pick the two in the bush then i'll have 2 birds in my hands which is actually worth 4 birds total.
Have you tried grabbing a bird, let alone two?

How is that 4?
Two birds in the hand are worth four in the bush.
>Keep taking birds out of the bush
>Infinitely exponential bird generator
The hell we gonna do with all these birds?
Take feathers to make the largest pillow fort.
but think of the poor birds. Surely the 10 pounds of feathers would weigh more than 10 pounds of iron due to the weight of your sins.
morons. Two plus two plus two plus two. Two birds in each hand, plus the two in each bush. 2+2+2+2=8 There are eight birds.

That's what that expression means? I never knew that. It's still dumb though
This, throw everything you have away because you might hit the big time.
>I never knew that
I hate stupid people
Nobody ever told me what it meant and I didn't really care enough to look it up. I didn't really care, but now I know. How is that being stupid? Should I just know everything
Because you have internet access and takes two seconds to look up.
Just use context clues mongoloid.
the real meaning is that while hunting the action of shooting one of the birds will scare the other away so you're never going to end up catching both birds.
>he can't kill two birds with one stone
It actually means instead of jerking off with your hand, you could have fricked a woman and given her twins.
So it's better to jack off since having kids is expensive.

Why are there so many contradictory rules?
Different situations.

Not two birds?

There were no bushes in the Playplace.
