Zhu/鴸

by
Zhu: There is a bird that looks like a hawk, but it has human hands. Its voice sounds like the buzzing of a fly. Its name is 鴸(Zhu). It calls out, as if it is calling its own name. Wherever this bird appears, many people in that county will be exiled.

有鳥焉，其狀如鴟而人手，其音如痺，其名曰鴸，其鳴自號也，見則其縣多放士。
