《太平广记·卷四百六十·禽鸟一》
这时有一大群鸟，大约有一千多个种类，由各个种类的头领率领着，排列在那只鸟的周围，这些鸟每天都把各自衔来的虫子和谷物献给这只鸟吃。
有群鸟千类，俱率其类，列于左右前后，而又朝夕各衔蜚虫稻粱以献焉。
At this time, there was a large flock of birds, about a thousand species, led by the leaders of each species, arranged around the bird. These birds each day brought insects and grains to the bird to eat.
