Famous quotes containing the word birds:

    “Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king;
    Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
    Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
    “Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!””
    —Thomas Nashe (1567–1601)

    “Thou waitest late and com’st alone,
    When woods are bare and birds are flown,”
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    “Birds which are the same color as the foliage in which they nest are less likely to be disturbed by other birds who want to drop in and chat, and therefore last longer.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
