find some sayins about "bird","dog"......

Those are good examples.

A little bird told me - I learned through gossip or I can't recall how I learned something or it's just something everyone knows.
Put the cart before the horse - Don't do the second part of a task before the first part is completed.
My dogs are barking - my feet hurt

Re: find some sayins about "bird","dog".
Is this a direct homework assignment? "Find some sayins about bird, dog, ..."

Why are all these students cluttering the forums with the same kind of questions? Shouldn't they be learning how to research and find solutions on their own, instead of just asking questions and expecting instant answers? It totally smacks of laziness.

Thanks for the link.

It still appears they are trying to get someone to do their assignments for them. The easiest route. More power to 'em, I guess.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks. -- Some people are set in their ways.

A bird in the hand beats two in the bush. -- What you have is more valuable than what you could have.

That dog won't hunt--this means that someone is trying to convince you of something, but that you don't believe them.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog--this means that desire and will are more important than mere physical size.

If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch--this means that someone who is complaining about being hurt or insulted should not have gotten involved in something they were not prepared to deal with effectively.

It's a dog's life--this means that life is difficult and unpleasant.

Birds of a feather flock together--this means that people with similar ideas or interests tend to spend time with one another.

The early bird gets the worm--this means that the person who goes to work early and works hard is most likely to enjoy the benefits of their effort.

Put salt on a bird's tail--this expression is rather complicated and not necessarily obvious. It means that to catch a bird, you must put salt on the bird's tail. But you cannot put salt on a bird's tail until you catch it. It means an impossible task.

If you want to hang with the big dogs, you've got to learn to pee in the tall grass. Can someone help me with a good translation with that one? I know exactly what it means but am having difficulty putting it in words a non-native speaker would understand.
