With 105 combinations of characters in Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary , it has a very high frequency.

Abbreviation (PR China): 鸟

The seal font of this sign represents a bird with feathers, which can still be seen in the traditional symbol as four dots below. 鳥 creates a connection to the meaning field bird, as for example in:

• 鴿  /  鸽 (= pigeon),
• 雞  /  鸡 (= chicken) and
• 鴨  /  鸭 (= duck).

鸟 also appears as a sound carrier, for example in the character 島  /  岛 (= island).

Only one missing point distinguishes 鳥  /  鸟 from 烏  /  乌 (= crow). Therefore also means 嗚  /  呜 (= toot) something other than 鳴  /  鸣 (= bird call).

There is another sign with the meaning of bird, namely radical 172 kleiner = little bird.
