### Noun

雎鳩
* (literary) a kind of waterbird with a dark brown upper body, white lower body and sharp talons suited to catching fish
    From: The Classic of Poetry, c. 11th – 7th centuries BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
    Guānguān jūjiū, zài hé zhī zhōu. [Pinyin]
    Guan-guan go the ospreys, On the islet in the river.

#### Usage notes

Zheng Qiao (apud Elvin 2010) proposes that 雎鳩 denotes the mallards, as ospreys cannot make the sounds "guan-guan". Zhu Xi also describes the 雎鳩 as resembling the 鳧鷖／凫鹥 (“wild duck and seagull”). Arthur Waley translates 王雎, 雎鳩's synonym, as "royal-coot".
