「Bird」in China euphemistically depicted sex organs, as in the English 'flip someone the bird,' with a pecker, a hard tapered poking head on an elongated twisting neck, scavenging.「Netting for preserving and maintaining one's ejaculation bird, mating display」was a GAUZE POULTICE used to GATHER INTO A BUNDLE one's bird meat prior to engaging in a courtship or mating display with birds of the other sex…same function as a codpiece worn by Europeans in order to keep one clean and「preserve, maintain」conditions, GATHERING the poultice contents in LIGHTWEIGHT CLOTH that permitted some exchange of air.
「Netting of threads for birds copulating」used to entrap birds that were momentarily preoccupied, used effectively throughout the United States of America in conjunction with stool pigeons to harvest the precursors of today's ever-popular nuggets, SNARE for HOLDING MEAT.

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.
