• The meaning of the proverb «A bird may be known by its song» It means that:
As a bird is known by the song it sings, a man is known by the words he speaks. If
he tells lies, he is a liar; if he does what he says, we know he is honorable.
Anything can be talked about yourself, but only deed will show the true value
of a person. If he is a master of his craft, then he deserves respect. And if you
are just a chatterbox, then the attitude towards him will be like a chirping
sparrow. These words reveal the meaning of this proverb.
