陶弘景说：产于广、益等州。医方中不常见使用。《新修本草》注解说：孔雀，交州、广州有分布，剑南地区原本没有。臣禹锡等人谨按陈藏器的说法：孔雀，味咸，无毒。日华子说：孔雀，性凉，微毒。能解药毒、蛊毒。孔雀血，治疗中毒，生饮效果好。孔雀粪，治疗崩漏、带下病，以及可外敷恶疮。
《衍义》说：孔雀尾羽不可进入眼睛，会导致眼睛昏花、生翳。
陶弘景说：就是俗话称为“老鸱”的那种鸟。又名鸢。又有雕、鹗，都与它相似但体型更大。虽然不分雌雄，恐怕雄性的药效更佳。现在用鸱头泡酒饮用时，应当轻微炙烤，不使用被虫蛀过的。
《食疗本草》说：鸢头，烧成灰，主治头风目眩，用水送服。鸢肉，食用它，治疗癫痫疾。《千金方》：治疗癫痫抽搐。
（短狐/水鸟KT）味甘，性平，无毒。治疗惊邪。食用它，主治短狐（一种水中毒物）。可以饲养，也能驱避短狐。如今短狐出没的地方多有KT这种鸟，五色斑斓，尾巴像船舵一样，比鸭子小。《临海异物志》说：KT是水鸟，吃短狐。在山泽中就没有毒瓦斯了。又杜台卿《淮赋》说：KT寻找邪气并驱逐危害就是这个意思。（新补入）
（斑鸠）味甘，性平，无毒。主治明目。多吃它的肉，益气，辅助阴阳平衡。又名斑鸠。范氏方中有斑鸠丸。到处都有。春分时化为黄褐侯，秋分时化为斑鸠。又有青斑鸠，性平，无毒。安定五脏，辅助气虚损，排脓，治疗血证，以及一切疮疖痈肿。又名黄褐鸟。（新补入）
《衍义》说：斑鸠，就是斑鸠。曾经饲养它数年，并没有见到春秋分化的现象。有的有斑点，有的无斑点，有的呈灰色，有的小，有的大。久病体虚的人食用它补气。虽然有这几种颜色，其药用功效是一样的。
(Peacock excrement) is slightly cold in nature. It primarily treats leukorrhea (vaginal discharge) in women and difficult urination.
Tao Hongjing stated: It originates from Guang and Yi prefectures. It is rarely used in medical prescriptions. The annotation of *Xinxiu Bencao* notes: Peacocks are found in Jiao and Guang regions, but were originally absent in the Jiannan area. Ministers Yu Xi et al., according to Chen Cangqi, state: Peacocks have a salty taste and are non-toxic. Ri Huazi states: Peacocks are cool in nature and slightly toxic. They can resolve medicinal poison and gu poison. Peacock blood treats poisoning; drinking it raw is effective. Peacock feces treat metrorrhagia and leukorrhea, and can be applied externally to malignant sores.
*Yanyi* states: Peacock tail feathers must not enter the eyes, as they cause visual obscurity and corneal opacity.
(Vulture/Eagle) has a salty taste, is neutral in nature, and is non-toxic. It primarily treats cephalalgia due to wind, vertigo with disorientation, and epilepsy.
Tao Hongjing stated: This is the bird commonly called "lao chi" (old owl/vulture). Also known as yuan. Vultures, eagles, and ospreys are similar but larger. Although gender does not strictly matter, the male may be more potent. When using vulture heads for wine infusion, they should be lightly roasted, avoiding those infested with insects.
*Shiliao* states: Vulture heads, when calcined to ash, treat cephalalgia due to wind and vertigo; taken orally with water. Vulture meat, when consumed, treats epilepsy. *Qianjin Fang*: Treats epileptic convulsions.
(Waterbird KT) has a sweet taste, is neutral in nature, and is non-toxic. It treats fright-evil. Consumption treats duanhu (a mythical poisonous creature/water sprite). It can be raised and serves to repel duanhu. Where duanhu exists, there are often birds named KT, displaying five colors, with tails resembling ship rudders, smaller than ducks. *Linhai Yiwu Zhi* states: KT is a waterbird that eats duanhu. In mountains and marshes, its presence eliminates toxic vapors. Du Taiqing's *Huai Fu* states: KT seeks out evil and drives away harm. (Newly supplemented)
(Spotted Dove) has a sweet taste, is neutral in nature, and is non-toxic. It primarily improves vision. Consuming its meat tonifies qi and assists yin-yang balance. Also known as banjiu. Fan's formula includes Banjiu Wan. It is found everywhere. At the Spring Equinox, it transforms into Huanghe Hou; at the Autumn Equinox, it transforms into Banjiu. There is also Qingbanjiu, which is neutral in nature and non-toxic. It calms the five zang organs, assists in cases of qi deficiency and damage, drains pus, treats blood disorders, and addresses all types of carbuncles, furuncles, and abscesses. Also known as Huanghe Niao. (Newly supplemented)
*Yanyi* states: Banjiu refers to the spotted dove. Having raised them for several years, I did not observe transformation during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Some have spots, some do not, some are gray, some small, some large. People suffering from chronic deficiency consume it to tonify qi. Despite these color variations, their medicinal efficacy is identical.
