A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.
Take opportunities when they present themselves....don't hold out for a better offer.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush...
It means something you already have is better than twice what you might be able to get later.
It means say no to questions like "double or nothing." Take what you have and be happy with it.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. It means it's better to be happy with something you have than to lose it by trying to gain more.

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." It means it is better to have ahold of one sure thing than to try to get two things which are not for sure.

Choking your chicken is more fun than duck hunting?
