Birds Quotes

The eagle suffers little birds to sing.

– William Shakespeare

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

– Henry Van Dyke

The white men in the East are like birds. They are hatching out their eggs every year, and there is not room enough in the East, and they must go elsewhere; and they come out West, as you have seen them coming for the last few years.

– Henry Ward Beecher

The distribution of plants in a given locality is not more marked and defined than that of the birds. Show a botanist a landscape, and he will tell you where to look for the lady’s-slipper, the columbine, or the harebell. On the same principles, the ornithologist will direct you where to look for the greenlets, the wood-sparrow, or the chewink.

– John Burroughs

I was raised in South Carolina; I wasn’t aware of any art in South Carolina. There was a minor museum in Charleston, which had nothing of interest in it. It showed local artists, paintings of birds.

There was very little art in my childhood. I was raised in South Carolina; I wasn’t aware of any art in South Carolina. There was a minor museum in Charleston, which had nothing of interest in it. It showed local artists, paintings of birds.

– Jasper Johns

Dinosaurs are built just like birds – they can squat down, they can get up. Mammals, when we lay down, we throw our legs out to the sides – birds cannot do that. Dinosaurs could not do that either.

– Jack Horner

Hempseed produces no observable high for humans or birds.

– Jack Herer

Our ancestors went to the woods to find fuel; they set snares there for birds and gathered nuts and fungi.

– John Burnside

Keratin can be very colorful, as we see in birds. We’d expect dinosaurs to be very colorful because they basically invented the characteristics we see in birds.

– Jack Horner

Women and birds are able to see without turning their heads, and that is indeed a necessary provision for they are both surrounded by enemies.

– James Stephens

One of the greatest birds I’ve ever had is called a ‘Turducken.’ A chicken inside of a duck inside of a turkey. That’s one that I love. I’ve done it a couple times.

– Guy Fieri

All birds are incipient or would-be songsters in the spring. I find corroborative evidence of this even in the crowing of the cock.

– John Burroughs

The son of a Fife mining town sledder of coal-bings, bottle-forager, and picture-house troglodyte, I was decidedly urban and knew little about native fauna, other than the handful of birds I saw on trips to the beach or Sunday walks.

– John Burnside

Robin is one of the most native and democratic of our birds; he is one of the family, and seems much nearer to us than those rare, exotic visitants, as the orchard starling or rose-breasted grossbeak, with their distant, high-bred ways.

– John Burroughs

The dispersal of juniper seeds is effected by the plum and cherry plan of hiring birds at the cost of their board, and thus obtaining the use of a pair of extra good wings.

– John Muir

One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste.

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The real biographies of poets are like those of birds, almost identical – their data are in the way they sound. A poet’s biography lies in his twists of language, in his meters, rhymes, and metaphors.

– Joseph Brodsky

The show is being changed right now, by the way. Jeff Burke is doing it for the Magic Kingdom. And I think it will be better, with new birds, master of ceremonies, etc.

– John Hench

– Jim Parsons

I feel I am strange to all but the birds of America.

– John James Audubon

Indians walk softly and hurt the landscape hardly more than the birds and squirrels, and their brush and bark huts last hardly longer than those of wood rats, while their more enduring monuments, excepting those wrought on the forests by the fires they made to improve their hunting grounds, vanish in a few centuries.

– John Muir

I am not one of those fat birds who feels miserable because models are thin. Frankly, I feel more insulted by the idea that unless I see other fat birds in fashion magazines, I will be reduced to a sniveling wreck of a human being.

– Julie Burchill

I invented animals and birds – I had about two dozen. After working on them for six months, I sat down and just for fun wrote two dozen poems to accompany the drawings. It was for no one to every see, but a friend sent me in to an editor.

– Jack Prelutsky

No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.

– Bob Dylan

Pigeon racing is a lousy, greedy, and often unlawful activity. One thing that it is not is kind to birds.
