early birds

Worm-getting proverb subjects

Early birds are people who wake up or arrive early.

The phrase comes from the proverb "the early bird catches the worm," suggesting that those who start early gain advantages.

Someone might describe themselves as an early bird to explain their morning habits: I'm an early bird—I'm usually up by five.

Early-bird specials or discounts reward customers who show up before peak hours.
