Birds that joined their wings is a literal translation from the Chinese name Biinyao. These are Chinese lovebirds.

The Biinyao were represented as a wild duck with red-green plumage. Each bird had one wing, one leg and one eye. They could fly, eat and drink only by joining together in twos. Therefore, they always flew and rested in pairs. According to some sources, one of the birds was green, the other was red.

Because of their inseparability, the biinyao were considered a symbol of a happy marriage.
