Famous quotes containing the word birds:

    “Calico Pie,
    The little Birds fly
    Down to the calico tree,
    Their wings were blue,
    And they sang “Tilly-loo!”
    Till away they flew—
    And they never came back to me!”
    —Edward Lear (1812–1888)

    “I sowed the seeds of love,
    It was all in the spring,
    In April, May, and June, likwise,
    When small birds they do sing.”
    —Mrs. Fleetwood Habergham (d. 1703)

    “We must not make a scarecrow of the law,
    Setting it up to fear the birds of prey,
    And let it keep one shape, till custom make it
    Their perch and not their terror.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
