can someone interpret this

My grandmother traveled to both japan and china in the late 60's and 70's. She brought this back and gave it to my mom.
It's very beautiful and appears to be hand embroidered but we have no idea what is says,
Can anyone shed some light on this for us?
An afterthought.... I used to have peacocks here in ohio. They didn't have horns like a unicorn. Just find that strange...

Google Lens, which also detects written languages via OCR, determined it says this, from simplified Chinese.



What the deeper meaning is, I have no idea. Probably a good fortune bidding.

Really. That's not what I expected. But hey, that's not all bad. I guess.

The picture of the embroidery disappeared, but I caught a glimpse. It appears the bird is of the peafowl family, Pavo muticus – Green Peafowl.

Please don't take that translation I posted for fact. It could be from slightly correct to totally wrong.

We really need someone who can actually read that language, to interpret and confirm or debunk.

The yellow bird was just minding it's business and enjoying the view down the hill, when the peacock came out of the bushes by surprise, evident by the wide eyed stare. Peacock is like "pssst... PSSSST need some race fuel additives?"

Unfortunately, the yellow bird was deaf and can't beak-read and would not knew what to do with the offered stuff anyways, even if understood.

The lesson is, don't trust people dresses as peacocks.

It says, “Don’t forget to drink ovaltine.”

I suspected my translation to "ovaries" was incorrect, thanks for clearing

Sorry, I was having a bit of fun. Nothing was meant by it.
