苏恭注释说：这种鸟像蚌鹬。据考证，鹬鸟外形像鹌鹑，嘴长，颜色青苍，在泥涂之间发出“鹬鹬”的叫声，人们捕捉来食用，味道与鹌鹑没有区别，没有其他特殊的功效。苏恭又说：这就像蚌与鹬互相钳持争斗的情形。新的注释说：取用它可以补虚，性质非常温暖。村民说：这是田鸡变化而成的，也与鹌鹑是同类。
蝉（此处原文指一种小鸟，非昆虫蝉）陶弘景注释说：雀、[缺字]、蜩、范。据考证，[缺字]是一种小鸟，像鹌鹑一类，又名[缺字]。郑玄注释《礼记》说：以[缺字]作为[缺字]。又说：[缺字]是[缺字]的母亲。《庄子》说：斥[缺字]，人们吃它，没有别的功用。
鹳陶弘景注释说：阳乌就是鹳。据考证，这两种东西完全不相似，阳乌身体黑色，脖子长且白色，嘴很小像鹳的嘴。主要治疗恶虫咬伤造成的疮疡，将其烧成粉末，用酒送服。也叫做阳鸦。出产在建州。
味辛，性平，无毒。主治劳损、积血，通利血脉，安神定志。《异志》说：治疗惊邪、癫痫、鸡痫、发热狂走等症状，用水磨碎后服用。这是凤凰脚下的物体，像白色的石头。凤凰虽然是灵鸟，偶尔会降临，守候它栖息的地方，挖掘土二、三尺就能取得。形状像圆石，白得像蛋。然而凤凰不是梧桐树不栖息，不是竹实不吃。不知道它栖息的地方怎么会靠近地面，能挖到土里，这正是事物自然的道理，不可识破的。现在有的地方有凤凰，未必有竹子；有竹子的地方，未必有凤凰，恐怕是在诸国麟凤洲才有这种东西。就像汉代时所进贡的续弦胶，就是用煎煮凤髓制造的。如果有这东西又有什么可奇怪的呢？现在鸡也有白色的“台”，像蛋一样硬，里面有白质没有黄质，说是公鸡生的，叫做父公台。《本经》中的“鸡白橐”，“橐”字字形似“台”，是后人抄写错误罢了。《书记》说：各个天国的人民吃凤凰蛋，就像我们这里的人吃鸡蛋一样。
主治溪毒、砂虱、水弩、射工、蝈短狐、虾须等病症。将这种鸟带到病患身边，它就能吸引人身上的毒气，结束后用器物承接，应当会有砂石出来。那砂石就是含沙射人的沙子，沙子是这种虫子射出的箭。也可以将它的粪便和羽毛烧成灰服用。也可以用笼子装着靠近病人，让鸟的气场与人相吸。山中的水毒之处，就生长这种鸟，应该是吃了有毒的虫子所致。以上几种病症，大致相似，都是山水间的虫子，含沙射影。也有在没有水的地方患病的，需要预防。发病时，夜间睡觉常用手按摩身体，感觉到辣痛的地方，仔细查看，应当有像针头大小的红点，急忙捻破它，用芋叶深入肉中刮擦，再看会有细沙石出来，用大蒜敷在疮口上，否则不久就会寒热发作，疮逐渐加深。那虾须疮，在桂岭特别多，得病的人十个人里只活一两个。只有早期发现的人，应当用芋草及大芋、甘蔗等叶子，弯曲角深入肉中钩出毒根，直到根部尽头，用大蒜封闭即可痊愈。片刻之后毒根就会深入至骨，拔出毒根像虾须一样，这种疮叫虾须疮，有如疔肿。最可怕的是长在人体隐蔽处，其余六种病，有的像疟疾及天行初起时的寒热。也有出疮的，也有不出疮的，关键在于要排出砂石，迟缓则容易治疗，不像虾须疮那样凶险。[缺字]鸟，像鸭子但体型较大，眼睛红，嘴有斑点，喜欢生活在山溪中。
Su Gong's annotation states: It resembles the clam-snipe. According to investigation, the snipe (Yu) is like a quail, with a long beak and grayish color, making "yu-yu" sounds among the mud. People catch it for food; its taste is no different from a quail, with no other special efficacy. Su Gong also said: This refers to the struggle between the clam and the snipe. New annotations state: It can be used to tonify deficiency and is very warming. Villagers say: It is transformed from a frog and is of the same category as the quail.
Tao Hongjing's annotation on [Bird Name Missing]: Sparrow, [Missing], cicada, fan. Investigation shows that [Missing] is a small bird, similar to a quail, also named [Missing]. Zheng Xuan's annotation on the *Book of Rites* (*Liji*) states: Using [Missing] as [Missing]. It also says: [Missing] is the mother of [Missing]. The *Zhuangzi* states: The marsh [Missing]; people eat it, with no distinct efficacy.
Tao Hongjing's annotation on Stork (*Guan*): Yangwu is the stork. Investigation shows these two are quite dissimilar; Yangwu has a black body, a long white neck, and a small beak resembling a stork's. It mainly treats sores caused by venomous insect bites. Burn it into powder and take with wine. It is also called Yangya. Produced in Jianzhou.
Pungent in flavor, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Mainly treats exhaustion, blood accumulation, promotes blood circulation, and calms the spirit. *Yi Zhi* states: Treats fright evil, epilepsy, chicken epilepsy, fever with manic running. Grind with water and take. This is an object under the Phoenix's foot, resembling white stone. Although the Phoenix is a spiritual bird that occasionally descends, if one waits at its roosting place and digs two or three feet into the earth, it can be obtained. It resembles a round stone, white as an egg. However, the Phoenix does not roost unless on a parasol tree (*Wutong*) nor eat unless on bamboo seeds. It is unknown why its roosting place would be near the ground and buried in soil; this is indeed the natural principle of things, which is unfathomable. Currently, places where Phoenixes exist may not have bamboo; places with bamboo may not have Phoenixes. It is likely found only in the Qilin Fengzhou (Qilin and Phoenix Continent) of various nations. Just as the String-Repairing Glue presented during the Han Dynasty was made by boiling Phoenix marrow. If such things exist, what is there to marvel at? Now, chickens also have white "Tai," hard like an egg, containing white substance but no yolk, said to be laid by male chickens, named Father Gong Tai. In the *Ben Jing*, the term "Chicken White Tuo" appears; the character "Tuo" resembles "Tai," which is a copying error by later generations. *Shu Ji* states: People in various heavenly kingdoms eat Phoenix eggs, just as people here eat chicken eggs.
Mainly treats stream poison, sand louse, water弩 (water弩), archer bug, short-fox shrimp whisker, and other diseases. Bring the bird near the patient; it will attract the pathogenic factor from the human body. Afterward, use a vessel to catch it, and sand/stones should emerge. This sand is what the bug uses to shoot at people; the sand is the bug's arrow. One can also burn its feces and feathers into ash and ingest them. Alternatively, keep it in a cage near the person to allow the bird's qi to attract the pathogen. These birds grow in areas with water poison in mountains, likely due to consuming toxic insects. The aforementioned diseases are roughly similar, all caused by insects in mountains and rivers that shoot sand/shadows. There are also cases without water; prevention is necessary. Upon onset, massage the body frequently at night. Wherever a burning pain is felt, look closely; there should be red spots like needle heads. Quickly pinch them, scrape with taro leaves inserted into the flesh, and fine sand/stones will appear. Apply garlic paste to the wound. Otherwise, chills and fever will soon occur, and the wound will deepen. Shrimp whisker sores are particularly common in Guiling; only one or two out of ten survive. Only those who detect it early should use taro grass, large taro, sugarcane leaves, etc., bent into hooks to dig out the root deep into the flesh until the root end is reached. Seal with garlic, and it will heal. Within moments, the root penetrates to the bone. Pulling out the root resembles a shrimp whisker; this sore is called Shrimp Whisker Sore, resembling a carbuncle. It is most malignant when located in hidden parts of the body. The other six diseases may present like malaria or the initial chills and fever of epidemic febrile diseases. Some have sores, some do not. The key is to expel the sand/stones. Delayed treatment is easier than for Shrimp Whisker Sore. [Missing Bird], resembles a duck but larger, with red eyes and spotted beak, fond of living in mountain streams.
