产于广东地区。鸡头而乌鸦嘴，羽毛黄色，腹部绒毛纯黑，尾巴长且下垂，鸣叫声为“豁豁”，性情喜食蛇。它在哺育幼鸟时，会捕捉雏鸟折断其两只脚，然后用蛇来喂养它们，三天后断足即愈合，多次折断多次恢复。
捕食这种鸟，能够治疗骨节折伤。
生长于西部边疆，成百上千成群结队，栖息在雪中。《西域闻见录》记载：喀什噶尔的雪鸡群飞，极其肥美，人们将其作为食物食用，只是性味燥热罢了。入药以雄性的为佳。
温暖丹田，壮补元阳，祛除一切积冷、阴寒、痼癖之疾，比雪莲更为有效。
朱排山《柑园小识》记载：洋鸭品种出自海洋，形状像鸭子，有红色冠羽和彩色羽毛，温顺且善于飞翔，雄性重达十斤，雌性则如常鸭大小。其性情淫乱，雌雄交配，每天必有四、五次，因此房中术使用它。蛋大如鹅蛋，味道极美，用母鸡孵化，约一个多月，雏鸟便出壳了，雏鸟极易长大。助益阳道，强健腰膝，补益命门，温暖水脏（肾）。
这是慈乌的胆，浙东地区最多，全部身体肥黑且大，各地都有。我的门人奉化徐朋圭居住在白岩，当地山僻径幽，古木丛生杂乱，他说当地人有采集鸦胆的。乌鸦胆汁，白天则散布注入手足和眼睛，所以精气聚集因而能看见烟霄之外的物体；夜晚则汁液回归到胆囊。取用的方法：必须等待乌鸦夜间睡觉时，趁它没有察觉，用利刀切断其头部，急忙剖开腹部取出，胆汁饱满，并无漏溢，然后用线穿起，阴干后入药使用。如果取法不得当，或者乌鸦被惊醒，即使杀死得到它的胆，也是空皮无汁，不堪使用。
明目开盲，功效胜过空青，点治青盲最灵验，可解藤黄毒。
烂弦风眼及医障不药良方：用乌鸦胆点眼，即可痊愈。
Produced in Guangdong. It has a chicken head and a crow's beak, yellow feathers, pure black down on the abdomen, long tail drooping downwards, and its cry is "huo huo". Its nature favors eating snakes. When feeding its young, it captures chicks, breaks their two feet, and then feeds them with snakes. After three days, the feet heal; this process of breaking and healing repeats.
Capturing and eating it can treat bone and joint fractures.
Grows in the western frontier, living in flocks of hundreds or thousands, perching in the snow. *Records of Western Regions* states: Snow chickens in Kashgar fly in groups, extremely fat and delicious, people eat them, but they are dry in nature. For medicinal use, males are superior.
It warms the Dantian (Energy Center), strengthens Yuan Yang (Original Yang), and eliminates all diseases caused by accumulated cold, yin-cold, and stubborn masses, being more effective than Snow Lotus.
Zhu Paishan's *Small Records of Orange Garden* notes: The foreign duck breed originates from the ocean, shaped like a duck, with red crest feathers and colorful plumage, tame and good at flying. Males weigh up to ten jin, while females are normal size. Their nature is lustful; male and female mate four or five times daily, hence used in sexual arts. The eggs are as large as goose eggs, extremely delicious, incubated by hens for about a month until chicks hatch, which grow easily. It assists the Yang pathway, strengthens waist and knees, tonifies Mingmen (Gate of Life), and warms the Water Zang (Kidney).
This is the gallbladder of the filial crow, most abundant in eastern Zhejiang, all fat, black, and large, found everywhere. My disciple Xu Penggui from Fenghua resides in Baiyan, where mountains are remote, paths secluded, and ancient trees dense. He said locals collect crow gallbladders. Crow gallbladder juice disperses to the body and eyes during the day, allowing essence to gather and see objects beyond smoke and clouds; at night, the juice returns to the gallbladder. The method of extraction: wait for the crow to sleep at night, take advantage of its unawareness, sever its head with a sharp knife, quickly open the abdomen to extract it. The gallbladder should be full of bile without leakage, then thread it through and dry in shade for medicinal use. If the method is improper or the crow is startled awake, even if killed and the gallbladder obtained, it will be an empty skin without juice, unusable.
It brightens the eyes and restores sight, surpassing Akitaka (Azurite) in efficacy, most verified for treating congenital blindness, and resolves Veratrum viride toxicity.
Excellent prescription for ulcerative blepharitis and visual obstruction without medication: Apply crow gallbladder to the eyes, and it heals immediately.
