"There are three little ducks in the river." 下一个是，下一个鸟是：鸽子(gēzi) 鸽子(gēzi) is "pigeon" Actually there is something bad I want to confess as a Chinese because we eat Pigeons. I know that. What?! 鸽子汤很有营养. (gēzi tāng hěn yǒu yíngyǎng.) "Pigeon soup is very nutritious." 鹤(hè) 鹤(hè) is "crane" 鹤是长寿的象征. (hè shì chángshòu de xiàngzhēng.) "Crane is the symbol for long life." At least in China and maybe in ancient culture too. Okay next one 鸡(jī) 鸡(jī) is "chicken" 你吃过鸡爪吗？ (nǐ chīguò jī zhuǎ ma ?) "Have you ever eaten chicken feet?" Yes I have and I love it.
