Meanings of elements

HERON-like EFFORT
…or: HIGH AMBITIONS, HEAD-THRUSTING MATING DISPLAY with POWER

[Japanese variant]「heron」or literally,「head thrusting downward bird with plumage」with「effort」known for its UNTIRING PERSISTENCE and patience when defending territory, in courtship displays, and while caring for young. ENCOURAGE and EXHORT may derive from each heron of a mated pair assisting the other in the same endeavor, never giving up. OFFER FOOD OR DRINK as a RECOMMENDATION while the mate takes a turn incubating the young:「Herons will attempt to defend several hundred meters of shore along river edges, ponds and other wetland areas against other herons. The most noticeable way they defend these sites is by chasing off intruders. Herons on adjacent territories display to one another by extending the wings away from the body, arching the neck, pointing the bill a few degrees above horizontals and erecting the feathers. …Unpaired males perform the stretch display that begins by raising the bill until it is held vertical, extending the neck and erecting the feather plumes…. The snap display begins with the erection of neck and head feathers. The heron moves its head forward and downward to culminate with a snapping of the bill. Both the snap and stretch displays are confined to the nest or nearby branches. Herons also display in the air by slow glides or laboured flaps of the wings with the neck outstretched. …Herons display to show off their plumages to their mates during courtship, to signal arrival at the nest, and to defend favourite foraging places. The plumes of feathers are thought to be signals of their quality at providers. …Females begin to incubate before the last egg is laid. Incubation requires about 27 days – the time is divided between the male and female with each sitting for many hours. They briefly stand to stretch their wings and legs, defecate, and to turn the eggs. Mates will be off feeding or perched in the trees asleep, watching or tending their feathers. The colony is very quiet at this time as the parents attentively care for the eggs deep inside the nest.」　[　https://www.pwlf.org/gbh/behaviour.htm 2012-12-28　]　
　OFFER FOOD OR DRINK as a RECOMMENDATION might also be an 'eat this' interpretation, with the elements as a「head-thrusting mating display with power」and as PERSISTENT EFFORT.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
