A proverb is an early piece of wisdom passed down through the generations in each culture.
A bird in the hand is an early example of a piece of advice for people trying to choose between two options. The phrase 'A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush' is used for saying that it's better to hold onto something one has already than to risk losing it by trying to attain something better.
Don't worry about the bush.
