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.

(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)

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)

But Bird had a couple of factors working in his favor. First and foremost, he was a businessman with a businessman's head governing his restaurateur's heart. He knew exactly what he was getting into when he picked up this Hampden Avenue space -- formerly a buck-a-scoop Chinese buffet of no renown, but with good street visibility and a big parking lot -- and chose it over properties he'd been scouting in Boulder, L.A. and the Bay Area. I figured I could mitigate my chance of failure to 50 percent here, .. Seriously, I didn't go into this thinking I had an 80, 90 percent chance of success. I'm not deluded. (Quote by - Tom Bird)
There's nothing like improving your birding skills by birding with someone who's good, and by meeting other birders. The best chance you have to learn birding is to hang out with folks who know their stuff, who love shorebirds and are willing to share their passion for it. It's kind of contagious when you get out with lots of people like that. (Quote by - Dawn Grafe)
It lets us know how the numbers are doing, the health of the birds and the bird population (in the area). (Quote by - Mike Chapman)
We have precisely enough -- that is, 20,000 doses -- available to us in Hungary, so that if the situation comes up where bird flu spreads to domestic poultry, that the surgeon general can decide to vaccinate people who breed or who work immediately with those birds. (Quote by - Andras Batiz)
This is a bird disease. It?s not a human disease at this point. (Quote by - Brad Bales)
We're in the middle of our migration season now where birds are flying. Are they going to bring it back to the Midwest on their flight patterns, we don't know. They're monitoring the birds closely--Alaska is the primary spot where they're watching the birds because it's the closest point where we would see contact. (Quote by - Deb Steffen)
Right now the day length is exactly the same as in spring when birds key into it and begin singing. The birds are a little confused by it all and the singing isn't very intense. It only lasts a week or so each fall, but it's still cool to hear spring bird songs at this time of the year. (Quote by - Craig Thompson)
The only real finding was that it was progressively less severe, the more neighbors the birds had. It reinforces this general message of how important physical and social enrichment for these birds really is. Well thought-out physical and social environments should be first thing we think of. (Quote by - Joseph Garner)
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. (Quote by - Alexander Pope)
I heard a bird so sing, Whose music, to my thinking, pleased the king. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)
The more it spreads in birds internationally, the more opportunities it has to interact with animal and human hosts, increasing the chances it could evolve into a human pandemic virus.

(Quote by - Dr. Carissa Etienne)
We've been monitoring. All persons showing high temperature and strange progress of acute respiratory illnesses are examined for possible detection of the bird flu virus, especially if the patient had contact with domestic birds. (Quote by - Gennady Onishchenko)
For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. (Quote by - D.H. Lawrence)

It is some mistake. I am surprised and shocked at how the government has declared that it is bird flu on the basis of just one report. (Quote by - Anuradha Desai)
It's just a lot more certain. It's a bird in the hand, and better than two birds in the bush. (Quote by - Debbie Wang)
Mixing the two stocks in the wild has resulted in the transfer of bad habits from the puppet-reared to the parent-reared birds. All misbehaving birds in the wild should be re-trapped and returned to captivity, since they pose a risk of passing on their bad behavior to birds released in the future. (Quote by - Vicky Meretsky)
When you see a bird, look at it carefully. Don't go to a field guide looking for a rare or unusual bird. It's most likely to be a common bird to the area. (Quote by - Norm Lantz)

It was about the preciousness of that, and how they viewed those birds as art, as something valuable. I didn't care one way or another back then, but now, thinking about my grandparents -- who are still alive but getting older -- I see the birds as sort of time capsules. Now I go home during the holidays and they hold a lot of weight in terms of nostalgia and memory. Now they mean everything. (Quote by - Nick Cave)

(Quote by - Pamela Anderson)
Even in '99 we saw some of the decomposing birds filled with plastic, which was really shocking. That was hard enough, but it wasn't until the experience of having a bird we watched grow up die from it that we photographed every piece. (Quote by - Susan Middleton)
There is more and more evidence building up that wild migratory birds do play some role in spreading the virus, but personally I believe - and others agree - that it?s not a major role. If we would assume based on this evidence that wild birds would be a major carrier of the disease, we would expect a more dramatic outbreak of the disease all over the world. (Quote by - Ward Hagemeijer)

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)

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)

Birdes of a feather will flocke togither. (Quote by - Marcus Valerius Martial)
In their native land, pythons hang around wading bird rookeries.

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 - José 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.

(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)

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)
It was exciting and humbling to see the bird. It gives the birding world a glimmer of hope. It may still be a biological dead end. There may not be enough of a gene pool left, maybe only two or three pairs of birds. (Quote by - Jim Fitzpatrick)
There's something about birds that I can't do, so it always held a mystery for me seeing them fly, seeing them hunt. (Quote by - Bobby Winter)

There clearly have been ongoing changes in the virus itself, and what that means in terms of its adapting to different bird species or its ability to infect other bird species is unclear, but it may have played a role. (Quote by - Michael Osterholm)
We have scout teams who go out and ID where the birds are. And when we find birds using a field, we'll hunt that field. (Quote by - Henry Scott)

Many people feed their birds but don't know exactly who is coming to their feeder. This is a good time to find out who these birds are. (Quote by - Joan Heller)

Last year, we had a shortage of 2-year-old birds from the poor hatch in 2003, so we didn't have a surplus of those birds to carry over. The fact that there was a shortage of 2-year-olds to hunt last year meant more pressure on the older birds, so that cuts down the carry over on those, too. (Quote by - James Austin)

We target the bird-nesting islands. The birds bring the line in from the Gulf fishing piers. (Quote by - Peter Clark)
If we see what is happening in Europe at this moment, I think we have to be worried. We see dead swans and we know that swans are highly susceptible [to H5N1].

The dogma right now is it is the waterfowl _ ducks, sandpipers, gulls, plovers _ essentially any bird that is water-associated. I will predict that that dogma will eventually fall by the wayside.

Townsend Peterson)
These birds used to nest on all the major shorelines in the state, but what's on those shorelines now — homes, golf courses. These are not parks. They're not recreation areas. These (islands) were preserved to protect the birds. (Quote by - Norm Brunswig)
Our birds are hand-fed by ourselves. Birds don't like to be handled, but hand-feeding is our forte. (Quote by - Bill Allen)

It is our understanding that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has allowed Ho Chi Minh City to retain its ban on poultry farming until February 2007 to ensure there is no recurrence of bird flu due to the lack of safety measures currently undertaken by the poultry industry in this region.

(Quote by - Perry Law)

This morning 40,000 of them turned up missing. Reports indicate that the birds have abandoned their wintering grounds in Delaware and that snow geese are showing up in New York. It is unclear whether the birds that stopped here briefly and then left recently still are somewhere at this same latitude or if they have pushed north. It would be somewhat early for large numbers of snows to be north of us but the movements of these birds is hard to predict. As soon as conditions permit they will usually try to push north, but if they encounter much snow or ice they will again retreat southward. (Quote by - Jim Binder)

Every achievement is a bird on the wing. (Quote by - Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.)
