Birds Are Indicators Of The Environment. If

Birds Have Wings; They're Free; They Can Fly Where They Want When They Want. They Have The Kind Of Mobility Many People Envy.

My Father Said You Can't Make A Living In Birds, My Relatives All Went Into Business: Bankers, Stockbrokers. However, They Eventually Lost It All And Died In Wheelchairs. Sometimes You Have To Be A Little Aberrant.

The Truth Of The Matter Is, The Birds Could Very Well Live Without Us, But Many -- Perhaps All -- Of Us Would Find Life Incomplete, Indeed Almost Intolerable Without The Birds.

The Philosophy That I Have Worked Under Most Of My Life Is That The Serious Study Of Natural History Is An Activity Which Has Far-reaching Effects In Every Aspect Of A Person's Life. It Ultimately Makes People Protective Of The Environment In A Very Committed Way. It Is My Opinion That The Study Of Natural History Should Be The Primary Avenue For Creating Environmentalists.

More Birds Have Adapted To A Changing World Than Have Failed. Very Few Have The Narrow Tolerance Of The Ivory-billed Woodpecker Or The Bachman's Warbler.
