It's very likely that most mammals have consciousness, and probably birds, too.
Dinosaurs are built just like birds - they can squat down, they can get up. Mammals, when we lay down, we throw our legs out to the sides - birds cannot do that. Dinosaurs could not do that either.
Romney Marsh remains one of the last great wildernesses of south-east England. Flat as a desert, and at times just as daunting, it is an odd, occasionally eerie wetland straddling the coastal borders of Kent and Sussex, rich in birds, local folklore and solitary medieval churches.
From medieval tapestries, we know that slingers were capable of hitting birds in flight. They were incredibly accurate.
I am often on guard over the Russians. In the darkness one sees their forms move like stick storks, like great birds. They come close up to the wire fence and lean their faces against it. Their fingers hook round the mesh.
Over 55% of all shots using animals in 'The Hobbit' are in fact computer generated; this includes horses, ponies, rabbits, hedgehogs, birds, deer, elk, mice, wild boars and wolves.
When I learned about this tragedy that's happening in Midway - you know, these birds whose stomachs are filled with handfuls of our waste - I just felt drawn there magnetically.
If anybody is interested in listening to good modern music, I would recommend Jim Fassett, 'Symphony of the Birds.' It's really beautiful... with real birds.
What I am interested in with birds, just as I am with spiders or monkeys, is what they do and why they do it.
I like a good mono track, it's right up front. I don't need all the surrounds telling me there are birds in the neighbourhood.
I used to have this little mouse. I buy birds from the pet store and I let them go.
I carve stone. I've got hammers and chisels and I carve from sandstone. I just did a big mural of birds and trees.
Hempseed produces no observable high for humans or birds.
Most of the birds of the Old World can be found here, as Oman is on a strategic route for migrating birds.
It has been suggested that those of us who are fighting to defend liberty - fighting to turn around the out-of-control spending and out-of-control debt in this country, fighting to defend the Constitution, it has been suggested that we are wacko birds.
I live in Topanga Canyon, which is like a faux-rustic enclave in Los Angeles. I love the sounds of all the critters outside - the frogs, owls, crickets, and birds. Some of the birds around here are pretty accomplished musicians. You can learn a lot from them.
Much talking is the cause of danger. Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage. Other birds, without speech, fly freely about.
The gene that enables birds to learn songs can become cancer-causing. There is no normal physiological process that can't be bastardized by the disease.
Pigeon racing is a lousy, greedy, and often unlawful activity. One thing that it is not is kind to birds.
If worms carried pistols, birds wouldn't eat 'em.
