Now let me teach you the Chinese word for bird, niao. You may know this character already
because in many animals, especially in many bird names, it contains this part. We call
this, when it's used as a radical it's bird radical. When we write niao the strokes are
a little bit complicated. This is the horizontal turning hook and then we come to this short,
very little dot here, and vertical, horizontal turning hook. The last stroke is the horizontal.
A very long horizontal. Follow me to write niao again. Niao - bird.
