In addition to WINGS and FEATHERS, this glyph often references a female in dynastic China who was purchased or available for a short-term rental as a sexual object, just as it also still does in English: BIRD CHICK, a BUNNY, overcoming the fear of flying. As a long feather (an item not normally associated with baby bird chicks), PLUMES also describe a stream of material that resembles a long feather, such as a plume of smoke, or in the case of chicks and bunnies in dynastic China with「dripping, cooling drops inside two no-longer-integrated feet」client ejaculate.
Two「no-longer-integrated feet」were shaped as are the wingtips of a bird (noticeable the next time when eating a chicken wing, that small bent-back last joint), those feet of a young girl who has just had her bones crushed and no-longer-integrated in preparation for binding for the first time. Wings and no-longer-integrated feet both have the shape of being folded over nearly in half within the carpals when not in use, with small appendages at the tips called 'phalanges, toes' (as in 'tiptoes'). The shape of a naked service provider's legs and no-longer-integrated feet while lying on her back, knees pulled up and widely spread, strongly resembled PLUCKED WINGS of a whole bird before roasting, and usage of this glyph as an element seldom directly refers to actual flying with these wings.
A new service provider tottering as she tries to walk with arms outspread, resembling a baby bird CHICK. Or hopping about on hands and knees, not placing any weight on her feet and resembling a BUNNY rabbit.
「The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. Binding usually started during the winter months since the feet were more likely to be numb, and therefore the pain would not be as extreme.」

「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. 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, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

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 seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they 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 lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
