English Proverb: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"
Meaning - it is better to have a lesser yet certain advantage at something, than the possibility of a greater one that may come to nothing.
Origin - This proverb refers back to medieval falconry where a bird in the hand (the falcon) was a valuable asset and certainly worth more than two in the bush (the prey).
Beryl Cook's unique artistic humor documented familiar social situations like girls night out, clubbing or shopping, men in the pub, at a strip club or at the market capturing "moments of social history, portrayed with a playful streak of naughtiness".
