In terms of the bird flu, which is currently devastating the bird population and has made 150 people sick (worldwide), half of which have died, nobody knows if that would ever cause a human pandemic, or if so, when. (Quote by - Arthur Reingold)

Whoever is related to me in the height of his aspirations will experience veritable ecstasies of learning; for I come from heights that no bird ever reached in its flight, I know abysses into which no foot ever strayed. (Quote by - Friedrich Nietzsche)

I realized that If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes. (Quote by - Charles Lindbergh)

The living self has one purpose only: to come into its own fullness of being, as a tree comes into full blossom, or a bird into spring beauty, or a tiger into lustre. (Quote by - D.H. Lawrence)

We are coming into a period where the bird flu will be highly transmissible. As the weather warms up, more wild birds will be migrating and it will be easier for the bird flu to be transmitted to a wider area. (Quote by - Yin Chengjie)

It's a good thing we have gravity, or else when birds died they'd just stay right up there. Hunters would be all confused. (Quote by - Stephen Wright)

Many countries use vaccines and think the virus is completely exterminated .. but this problem is still in southeast Asia. It's even in migratory birds and they are dying. Why? Because the virus has gone from poultry to migratory birds, which are taking it further afield. (Quote by - Guan Yi)

Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour. (Quote by - Bible)

The Grail Bird: Hot on the Trail of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. (Quote by - Tim Gallagher)

A big 500 acre field of grass. This is where birds will come in and stage a lot of times before they actually go out and feed. But a lot of times they go out and feed on this grass itself. So there is a lot of traffic in here and I am real optimistic we are going to get a lot of birds in here. (Quote by - Mark Beam)

If it proves the subway vibration is the generator, we will move those birds far away from the subway line. It might cost a lot of money since all the devices here are specially designed in accordance with the habits of those birds. (Quote by - Bian Haixia)

Birdes of a feather will flocke togither. (Quote by - Marcus Valerius Martial)

In their native land, pythons hang around wading bird rookeries. Our wading bird populations have declined because of insults we've done to their environment, and here we're throwing another insult at them. We're trying to restore their populations, but this could be the straw that breaks the camel's back. (Quote by - Skip Snow)

God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages. (Quote by - Jacques Deval)

Sometimes people think the rare birds are most interesting, but that's not true. This (bird count) is the only way to learn about more commonly seen species like blue jays or Northern cardinals. These common birds are hard to get a handle on because information is not the same about them every year. (Quote by - Miyoko Chu)

South Dakota switched to an indoor holding facility, and this year's pheasants are in even better shape than last year's birds. It was a low-stress environment that allowed us to work on the birds much more easily. (Quote by - Jos Taracido)

Every bird that upwards swings Bears the Cross upon its wings. (Quote by - Marcus Valerius Martial)

Land disturbance and fragmented habitat represent the greatest threats to the majority of these birds, and the golden-cheeked warbler is no different. Places where they make their home are under development pressure for home sites, grazing, logging and mineral extraction, and that's a lot of pressure for a species that perhaps has as few as 9,600 individual birds. (Quote by - Betsy Loyless)

There is a thing, like a bird, weak and fluttering within my chest, i cradle it and care for it as anyone should an injured thing, yet, i silently pray for it's death. (Quote by - Gabriel Swann)

Most of the birds of the Old World can be found here, as Oman is on a strategic route for migrating birds. (Quote by - Saadi)

Ghastly, grim, and ancient Raven, wandering from the Nightly shore,-- Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore! Quoth the Raven "Nevermore!" (Quote by - Edgar Allan Poe)

The blossom of Love will make the air fragrant; the river of Love will murmur along the valleys; and every bird, beast and child will sing the song of Love. (Quote by - Atharva Veda)

Time is swift, it races by; Opportunities are born and die.. Still you wait and will not try - A bird with wings who dares not rise and fly. (Quote by - A. A. Milne)

Detecting and culling infected birds is still the key, and for that we have to compensate the owners of chicken whose flocks are killed. And we have to limit interaction between humans and birds, which is a huge challenge within an environment where people are used to living very close to their chickens. (Quote by - David Nabarro)

I think it will probably be here sooner, but it's one of those guess points of people in ornithology. If you have the summer, you have breeding birds over in Europe. Then they'll probably go north, mix again (with birds in Alaska), and then next fall and next winter, we could start seeing it. (Quote by - Jeanne Fair)
