What does Minnan people mean by bird hukou? They often say, I didn't have it, so I took it.

Bird divination is a traditional folk divination method in southern Fujian, also known as "chicken divination". It is a divination method to predict the future by observing the bones and internal organs of chickens. In southern Fujian, birds are widely used, especially in rural areas and suburbs.

In the bird profession, a rooster is usually chosen, killed and dried. Then, the fortune teller will observe the bones and internal organs of the chicken and interpret the good and bad luck in the future according to the observation results.

Minnan people often say, "I don't have it, I want it." This sentence usually means that if someone or something has not been achieved or realized, then the future result or fate can be predicted by replacing it. This is a way to express future uncertainty or predict future direction. It should be noted that this is only a traditional divination method, which has no scientific basis and should be treated rationally.
