hverjum þykir sinn fugl fagur

Proverb
("each person finds their own bird to be beautiful")


 * 1) People perceive the things that are "theirs" (that they have made, that belongs to them, or is something that they identify with) through rose-colored glasses – it is perceived as being better than it may really be. Can for example be applied to parents, who usually view their own children as being exceptionally beautiful or skilled.
