People expect the clergy to have the grace of a swan, the friendliness of a sparrow, the strength of an eagle and the night hours of an owl - and some people expect such a bird to live on the food of a canary. (Quote by - Edward Jeffrey)

Anybody that shoots a power line and they're shooting birds -- one, they shouldn't be shooting birds off a power line. Two, they should be held liable. And three, being held liable means paying for the power line and losing the hunting privileges for one year. (Quote by - Sen Dave Zien)

Abbie would whimper sometimes when the turkey answered and maybe turn her head in the direction of the bird, but otherwise she was still. Brad shot a nice bird from that flock and we never would have even known they were there had it not been for the dog. (Quote by - Scott Baseshore)

Poetry is like a bird, it ignores all frontiers. (Quote by - Yevgeny Yevtushenko)

Do you ne'er think what wondrous beings these? Do you ne'er think who made them, and who taught The dialect they speak, where melodies Alone are the interpreters of thought? Whose household words are songs in many keys, Sweeter than instrument of man e'er caught! - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, (Quote by - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

A bird which eats berries can be caught, but not a bird that eats wood. (Quote by - Maori Proverb)

Behaviors such as those observed during our study provide a useful and sensitive tool for gauging the effects of recreational activities on wildlife. If bird behavior can be carefully quantified, then management strategies can be developed before these and other potentially harmful activities result in long-term negative consequences to bird populations. (Quote by - Robert Steidl)

Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except the best. (Quote by - Henry Van Dyke)

Most people feel that birds evolved from one kind of dinosaur. But our bad luck was to find the other kind of dinosaur, and unfortunately it has a bird-like heart too.

The nightingale has a lyre of gold, The lark's is a clarion call, And the blackbird plays but a boxwood flute, But I love him best of all.

Every year, back comes Spring, with nasty little birds yapping their fool heads off and the ground all mucked up with plants. (Quote by - Dorothy Parker)

How do geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons? How do we, humans know when it is time to move on? As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within if only we would listen to it, that tells us certainly when to go forth into the unknown. (Quote by - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross)

Learn a lesson from the birds. They feed those who cannot fly far. The bird relieves the itch of the buffalo by scratching it with its beak; they help and serve each other with no thought of reward. (Quote by - Atharva Veda)

What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bee and he told me about the butcher and my wife. (Quote by - Rodney Dangerfield)
