Translation:
Birds agree when flying down, but not when flying up
Postproverbial:
Ciathanaga ikĩgwa, mũgũnda kũrĩa mwere
Translation:
Birds agree when flying down in the garden to eat millet
Comments:
The traditional proverb poetically emphasises the moral aspect that people will easily cooperate when deciding on an enterprise but are likely to quarrel as soon as they achieve their targets. The postproverbial is rational and tends to justify why the birds flock together; to eat millet
