Depicts a BIRD, both literally and euphemistically:「habituated to raised rod with tense gasping, no-longer-integrated dripping feet with many emissions」just about says it all, becoming a referent for both a male client's penis (his "bird") and a dynastic Chinese female service provider (the "chick" also as a type of bird but not yet fully matured). Lower strokes suggest rearrangement and combining (羽) set of two「tense and gasping, springy no-longer-integrated feet」with「congealed, coagulating, drip by drip」that form「counter for bunnies and chicks」with (⺊)「diva, prepubescent female service provider, condition of raised rod.」Lower four dot strokes refer to「many emissions」of both clients and bird feces, similar in appearance, consistency, and texture.
　Lower four dots are not likely 'tail' as commonly taught. There are many actual non-human animal species with a tail but very few glyphs that refer to an animal contain the 灬 element:「A single goose can defecate every 20 minutes up to 1.5 pounds of feces each day.」

　And don't forget that「A rooster may mate from 10 to 30 or more times per day, depending on the availability of hens and competition from other roosters.」

　Merges elements of「open-mouthed showing tongue」with「flocking in droves (与)」or「sent from heaven and clever」or「arrayed, high tension with bent feet, and many emissions」the animal's chief characteristics. Simplified Chinese uses「clever」(刁) as the lower element, the equivalent of「tense and many emissions.」The feet of many bird species can bend around and touch heel to toe (for perching, wrapping around a branch). This is perhaps why young Chinese females with no-longer-integrated feet began to be called BIRDS, CHICKS:「open tonguing mouth, hairless and prepubescent (birds do not have hair, per se, but they do have downy feathers) and divine (from heaven, in the atmosphere) with springy flexible feet and many emissions.」Not only that, but Chinese service providers needed to scoop out and excrete whitish sticky excretions from their no-longer-integrated feet every 20 minutes or so, similar to geese (see 勺 and 匕). Individuals of most avian species move along the ground whilst continually thrusting the head forward and back (for balance), a trait noticed by the ancient Chinese sages as one clearly resembling a fellatrix whilst providing services, hence the pejorative BIRD, CHICK used as a referent for females engaged in that vocation. Furthermore,「rod segment within orifice of a black bird, crow」is a reference to the male's BIRD in motion (see 烏 for details).
　Possessing a similarity with horses, and most other animal species, BIRDS masturbate often, using the elements of 「open-mouthed staring in a stupor, sent from the gods with many emissions.」 Proof? See:　[　https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jun/01/masturbation-birds-natural-healthy-behaviour-study　2026-06-01　]　The ancient Chinese clearly recognized this behavior and encoded it into this glyph.
　「An investigation into acts of self-pleasure among parrots and other birds has reached a climax, with the results providing welcome relief for vets and researchers, not to mention the birds themselves.　Bird keepers are often advised to discourage and even punish birds for masturbating, but the study found the activity was more common in the wild than in captivity, with researchers concluding it is part of a bird’s natural behaviour. The report’s authors urged vets to reassure worried owners that the antics are not harmful.... Dr Matilda Brindle, an evolutionary biologist at Oxford University and the study’s co-author, said the work added to a growing body of literature that highlighted how non-reproductive sexual behaviours occurred across the animal kingdom.」
