early bird

First one there

An early bird is someone who wakes up or arrives early, or who acts before others.

The phrase comes from the proverb "the early bird catches the worm," suggesting that being first brings advantages.

Businesses offer early bird specials or discounts to customers who arrive or book ahead of the crowd: Early bird pricing ends Friday.
