How to Sign "Bird" in American Sign Language (ASL)

To make the ASL sign for "bird," put your thumb and index finger together like a beak near your mouth. The simple motion of opening and closing these fingers creates a clear picture of a bird's beak in action. You can change how you do this movement a bit based on what kind of bird you're talking about. The sign works great for teaching kids about birds or just talking with friends, and everyone can easily understand what it means because it looks just like a real bird's beak.
