One way birds communicate knowledge to humans and facilitate communication among humans is through metaphors. A recent book discusses animal metaphors, nearly a third of which employ birds as vehicles, used by the Nage people of Flores Island (eastern Indonesia). As applied to human beings and human behaviors, bird metaphors reveal considerable overlap with other animal metaphors; thus, a full understanding of these requires additional attention to the metaphoric or more generally symbolic value of other sorts of non-human animals. Emphasizing how knowledge of birds is shaped in some degree by an extra-cultural empirical experience of the creatures, the present discussion explores similar representations of a bird, the scrubfowl, and a marine reptile, the sea turtle, among people in several parts of Flores.

坏母亲和奇怪的后代:印度尼西亚东部的灰鹬和海龟的图像

鸟类与人类交流知识并促进人类交流的一种方式是通过隐喻。最近的一本书讨论了动物隐喻,其中近三分之一使用鸟类作为交通工具,弗洛雷斯岛(印度尼西亚东部)的纳格人使用。当应用于人类和人类行为时,鸟类隐喻与其他动物隐喻有相当多的重叠。因此,对这些的全面理解需要额外关注其他种类的非人类动物的隐喻或更普遍的象征价值。强调鸟类的知识如何在某种程度上受到生物的外文化经验经验的影响,目前的讨论探讨了在弗洛勒斯几个地区的人们中鸟类、灌木丛和海洋爬行动物海龟的类似表现.
