European Proverb of the day : “A bird is known by his note and a man by his talk” connects a bird's sound with a person's speech. A bird can be identified through its call. In the same way, a person can be understood through words and communication. Speech can reveal thoughts, values, honesty and character. The proverb also asks people to think before speaking. Words can affect how others understand a person. They can also build or damage trust. This saying remains useful because communication is part of daily life, from family conversations to workplace discussions and public communication.
