Some quotes about birds are quotes to inspire and relish the good from these winged creatures.
Birds are cute little fluffy creatures belonging to the Animal or Animalia kingdom (so yes, they are animals!). Specifically, they fall under the category, Aves.
There is a staggeringly huge variety of birds, and the four main different types are distinguished by color and size, among other things. There are ostriches, which are flightless birds; flamingos, which are wading birds; songbirds like a nightingale and night birds like owls. These are the four types of birds.
Birds also highlight freedom and might even inspire you to fly high (metaphorically of course!) and bring out the true potential of your life. If you're someone who loves nature and birds, then these quotes will help you find your wings to conquer the sky.
