I've heard of a Haitian proverb, "Little by little a bird builds its nest." I've seen the word for bird as "wazo" within it. Why is it wazo as opposed to swazo? Thanks!

Actually the correct Haitian Creole word is "zwazo".
It is derived from the french word "Oiseau", which is pronounced "wazo".
So, literally, "wazo" is also correct.

The proverb goes:

Little by little a birds builds its nest.

Piti piti zwazo fè nich li.
