Bluebird
“The bluebird carries the sky on his back.” ~Henry David Thoreau
Red-winged blackbirds
“Have some really good coffee and listen to the red-winged blackbirds in the marsh. Ignore the mosquitoes.” ~Laura Munson
Flight
“The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who…looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space…on the infinite highway of the air.” ~Wilbur Wright
Bird’s-eye view
“Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” ~Jonathan Swift
Safety in numbers
“If one bird foraging in a flock on the ground suddenly takes off, all other birds will take off immediately after, before they even know what’s going on. The one who stays behind may be prey.” ~Frans de Waal
Blue jay
“Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?” ~David Attenborough
Perky
“A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.” ~Lou Holtz
Serenity
“Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.” ~Michael Caine
