甘温，有小毒。
发明：这种鸟食用乌头和半夏的幼苗，喜欢吃这些植物的鹧鸪，容易引发咽喉和头部的肿痛，甘草和生姜都可以解除其毒性。《唐本草》记载鹧鸪能治疗岭南地区的野葛、菌子以及生金中毒，还有温疟。对于久病垂死的人，将带毛的鹧鸪炒制后浸泡在酒中服用，或者生捣取汁服用效果最好。《日华子诸家本草》说，用酒送服可以主治蛊气导致的濒死状态。孟诜说，鹧鸪能制约五脏之邪并增强心力，使人聪明。
甘平，无毒。
发明：鹌鹑主要治疗腹部胀大如鼓的症状，解除热结，治疗小儿疳积。按：鹌鹑被认为是由青蛙变化而来，其气性相同，青蛙与蛤蟆都能解除热结，治疗疳积、利水消肿。那么鹌鹑消除鼓胀的功效，大概也是同样的作用，食用后排出像鹅脂一样的物质，几次即可痊愈。
咸平，无毒。
发明：鸽子的品类很多，只有白色的入药。能解各种药物中毒，长期患有虚弱消瘦的人食用有益，能调精益气。治疗恶疮疥癣、风疮白癜风、瘰疬疡风，煮熟后用酒送服，没有不适宜的。鸽卵能使痘疹稀疏，其粪便的气味能杀死痨虫（结核杆菌），虚劳患者大多饲养鸽子。
俗称为莺，即黄鹂，《月令》中称为仓庚。
甘温，无毒。
发明：这种鸟感应春天的阳气而先鸣叫，所以能补益阳气。食用它使人不嫉妒，因为阳和之气能战胜阴毒。按：《阳止妒论》说，梁武帝的皇后性格嫉妒，有人说用仓庚作为膳食疗法来治疗，于是让她食用，嫉妒果然减少了一半。
甘温，无毒。服用术类药材的人忌食。
发明：雀属阳且性情淫乱，所以能强壮性功能，对于火衰、阴痿、精寒者最为适宜。阴虚火盛者禁用。雀卵治疗血枯，《素问》中的四乌鲗骨一茹丸，使用雀卵最为巧妙。如果没有雀卵，可以用生雀肝代替。雀头血主治雀盲（夜盲症），雀脑用绵裹塞耳治疗耳聋。雄雀屎名为白丁香，能去除眼目的翳膜及面部的黑斑。只要选取直形的，就与鼠粪无异，但入药有效。
Sweet and warm, with slight toxicity.
Invention: This bird feeds on the seedlings of Aconitum carmichaelii (Fuzi) and Pinellia ternata (Banxia). Partridges that favor eating these plants are prone to causing swelling and pain in the throat and head; Glycyrrhizae Radix (Licorice Root) and Zingiberis Rhizoma (Fresh Ginger) can both detoxify them. The *Tang Bencao* states that partridge treats poisoning from wild Gelsemium (*Yege*), mushrooms, and native gold in Lingnan, as well as warm malaria. For those suffering from chronic illness near death, boiling the partridge with its feathers in wine for ingestion, or crushing it raw to drink the juice, is most effective. *Ri Hua Zi* states that taking it with wine primarily treats fatal Gu Qi (parasitic disease). Meng Shen claims it can restrain pathogenic factors in the five zang organs, enhance heart power, and make one intelligent.
Sweet and neutral, non-toxic.
Invention: Quail mainly treats abdominal distension resembling a drum, resolves heat accumulation, and treats pediatric gan syndrome (malnutrition). Note: Quail is believed to be transformed from frogs, sharing similar qi properties. Frogs and toads both resolve heat accumulation, treat gan syndrome, promote diuresis, and reduce edema. Thus, quail's ability to reduce abdominal distension shares the same efficacy. After consumption, substances resembling goose fat are excreted, leading to recovery after several times.
Salty and neutral, non-toxic.
Invention: There are many varieties of pigeons, but only white ones are used in medicine. They can detoxify various medicines and benefit those suffering from chronic weakness and emaciation, regulating essence and boosting qi. They treat malignant sores, scabies, tinea, wind sores, vitiligo, and scrofula ulcers. When cooked and taken with wine, there is no unsuitability. Pigeon eggs can dilute the severity of smallpox/rashes. Their feces' odor can kill tubercle bacilli (zai chong), so patients with consumptive diseases often keep them.
Colloquially called ying, i.e., Oriolus chinensis (Golden Oriole), known as Cangheng in the *Monthly Ordinances*.
Sweet and warm, non-toxic.
Invention: This bird sings first upon sensing spring yang qi, thus it can tonify yang qi. Consuming it makes one less jealous because the harmonious yang qi overcomes yin toxicity. Note: The *Yang Zhi Du Lun* states that Empress Dowager Wu of Emperor Wu of Liang was jealous. Someone suggested using Cangheng as a dietary therapy for treatment, so she ate it, and her jealousy indeed decreased by half.
Sweet and warm, non-toxic. Those taking Atractylodes macrocephala (Baizhu) should avoid eating it.
Invention: Sparrows belong to yang and have a lustful nature, thus they can strengthen sexual function. They are most suitable for those with fire deficiency, impotence, and cold semen. Those with yin deficiency and hyperactive fire must strictly avoid them. Sparrow eggs treat blood depletion. In *Su Wen*, the Si Wu Ce Gu Yi Ru Wan uses sparrow eggs most effectively. If sparrow eggs are unavailable, raw sparrow liver can substitute. Sparrow head blood treats night blindness (que mang). Sparrow brain, wrapped in silk and inserted into the ear, treats deafness. Male sparrow droppings are named Bai Ding Xiang (White Tallow), which removes corneal opacities and facial black spots. Only straight ones are selected, appearing identical to rat droppings, yet they are effective when used in medicine.
