The tree at the end of the garden is a birch. Of course, we also need to tell you that there are religious people in the world and there are many different beliefs. But to hammer into their heads the fable that there is only one God in the world, who in six days invented and created everything here, is a real abuse of the status of an adult.”

— Richard Dawkins English ethologist, evolutionary biologist and popularizer of science 1941

“If you catch a bird, then do not keep it in a cage, do not make it want to fly away from you, but cannot. And make it so that she could fly away, but didn’t want to.”

“Reason is not an achievement. You are born intelligent. Trees are intelligent in their own way, they have enough intelligence to live their own lives. Birds are intelligent, animals are intelligent. In fact, what religion means by God is nothing more than that the universe is intelligent, that intelligence is hidden everywhere in it. And if you have eyes to see, you will see it everywhere. Life is mind.”

— Osho Indian religious figure, founder of mystical teachings 1931 - 1990

“A mind without ambition is like a bird without wings.”

— Salvador Dali Spanish artist 1904 - 1989

“God loved birds and created trees. Man fell in love with birds and created cages.”

“All sorts of philosophers and religious leaders are trying to convince their students and followers that animals are nothing more than machines without a soul. But anyone who has ever kept an animal in their home - be it a dog, a bird or even a mouse - knows that this theory is a blatant lie, invented in order to justify cruelty.

“I studied the character and inclinations of the so-called “lower animals” and compared them with the character and inclinations of man. The results of this comparison, in my opinion, are extremely humiliating for me. For they force me to abandon my belief in Darwin's theory of the descent of man from lower animals, since it now seems obvious to me that this theory should be replaced by a new and much closer to the truth, calling it “the theory of the descent of man from higher animals.” 1. Humanity is a single biological species. There are some slight differences in skin color, build, intelligence, etc., depending on climate, environment, etc.; but it nevertheless represents a single independent species that should not be confused with any other. 2. Quadrupeds are also an independent family. This family also has some internal differences - in color, size, feeding method, etc., but still it is a single independent family. 3. All other families - birds, fish, insects, reptiles, etc. - are also more or less independent. They follow each other. They are links in a chain that reaches from the higher animals down to man, who is at the lower end. In the process of these experiments, I became convinced that man is the only animal that remembers the insults and insults inflicted on him, harbors anger in his soul and, waiting for an opportunity, takes revenge. Vengeance is unknown to higher animals. Man is the only slave. And the only animal that enslaves its own kind. He was always a slave in one form or another and always had dominion over other slaves in one form or another. Nowadays he is in slavery to other people for money and works for these people; and this slave has his own slaves who work for him for less pay. Only higher animals do their own work and feed themselves. Higher animals sometimes start fights among themselves, but they never fight in organized masses. Man is the only animal that is capable of the most outrageous and disgusting act called war.”

— Mark Twain American writer, journalist and public figure 1835 - 1910

“Time is a bird that decorates you with colorful feathers, but someday it will fly away and take them away. And if your soul becomes too attached to feathers, how ugly will be its nakedness!”

— Nicholas of Serbia, Bishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Bishop of Ohrid and Zic 1880 - 1956

“Hope is a bird, Sits on a branch of the soul and sings, Until eternal silence.”

— Emily Dickinson American poet 1830 - 1886

“Now that we have learned to fly through the air like birds, to swim under water like fish, we lack only one thing: to learn to live on earth like people.”

— George Bernard Shaw British writer, novelist, playwright, Nobel Prize winner in literature, public figure 1856 - 1950

Quotes in alphabetical order

“At the cost of sad thoughts and sorrow, you will hardly find your daily bread. Zeal that is inappropriate is worthy only of curses. Only a rare person finds a treasure; he who works all his life is rich. The milkman, who has diluted the milk with water, praises his product noisier than others. Once a bird escapes from its cage, heaven is everywhere - on every branch. No matter how high the peak is, there is certainly a path to it. Excessive praise is more dangerous than blasphemy.”

— Hafiz Shirazi Persian-Tajik poet and Sufi master 1326 - 1389

“A man is like a bird: as soon as he takes off, he puts an end to the one below him.”

— Konstantin Semyonovich Melikhan Russian writer, author of humorous books, pop performer of his own works, cartoonist, TV presenter,... 1952

Quotes about owls

When the owl sings, the night is silent. Charles de Lesse

The owl is the wisest of all birds, because the more it sees, the less it talks. Christy Watson

A bird's will is more valuable than a golden cage

Proverbs and sayings about birds for children 4-5 years old

And the bird flies thinking. The bird got into the cage. The little bird started singing early, as if the cat would eat it. A bird's freedom is more valuable than a golden cage. The turkey thought and thought, but ended up in the soup. Even a dove does not fly to an unkind person. A woodpecker and an oak tree are hammering away. Gentle as a dove. The sandpiper is small, but still a bird. And the falcon does not fly higher than the sun. Looks like a falcon, but sounds like a raven. Stupid and gluttonous, like a duck. The bird rejoices in the spring, and the baby rejoices at the mother. No matter how much the cuckoo crows, it will fly away by winter. Better a bird in the hand than a pie in the sky. A forest without birds and birds cannot live without a forest. A crow's nest is a home. The sparrow immediately takes off, but the rook needs a run. The bird knows that it is no good without the Motherland. The tit eats a little, drinks a little, and lives happily. A magpie doesn't chirp for no reason. The magpie brought the news on its tail. The nightingale sings for a month, and the crow croaks all year round. The crane flew in and brought warmth. The crane flies high, but does not fly away from the river. The crane flies high and sees far. The eagle, although scary, remains a bird. Don’t teach an eagle to fly or a nightingale to sing. The swallow begins the day, and the nightingale ends. The nightingale does not need a golden cage, a green branch is better. Spring is not complete without the first swallow. One swallow does not make spring. The word is not a sparrow; if it flies out, you won’t catch it. The titmouse is the sparrow's sister. I saw a starling - spring is at the porch. Feed the bird in winter, it will thank you in spring. Little by little the bird makes a nest.

Quotes about crows

If the raven was content to eat its prey silently, it would have more meat and less quarrels and envy. Horace

The Crow wanted everything to be black, the Owl wanted everything to be white. William Blake

If you must eat crow, eat it while it is young and tender. Thomas Jefferson

The falcon's wing brings it to the king, the crow's wing brings it to the cemetery. Muhammad Iqbal
