In the riddle it is talking about a bird that will be supper. 1he already has, the 2 in the bush he may not be able to catch. You know the grass is always greener on the other side

It's a proverb. If someone says, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," he/she means that it is better to be satisfied with something you have than to risk losing it by trying to get something better you may not succeed in getting.

I'm guessing it means something like it is better to have one thing than not have anything but see it somewhere else.
maybe it is a "be happy with what you have" thing,

i'm guessing it meens that it means that if you have one really good something and two other good somethings that you can't get at, its better to have that one good thing than none.
in other words: count your blessings
