群 (crowd)雞 (chicken)
一 (one)
鶴 (crane)
Also, 群鷄一鶴 with 鷄 (chicken)
A lone swan among waddling ducks is a touchingly incongruous sight. She cannot help but be the odd bird out.
***
Among a gaggle of geese, a bevy of quails, a covey of pheasants, a peep of chickens, a brood of guinea hens, a plump of fowls...
...one majestic crane soars. May she defy gravity.
(鳥, bird)
