- Desert
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I actually carried a Panavision Platinum and a G2 when I was seven months pregnant for a film called 'Little Birds,' and the whole movie was handheld. And we were shooting in the desert. That's a 35-millimeter camera. It's huge, probably at least 50, 55 pounds, and I did all my own operating.

Game-keepers on grouse moors control common predators such as foxes and crows and this gives wading birds a much greater chance of breeding successfully.

- Army
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |

We are told that the trouble with modern man is that he has been trying to detach himself from nature... In this scenario, Man comes on as a stupendous lethal force, and the Earth is pictured as something delicate, like rising bubbles at the surface of a country pond, or flights of fragile birds.
- Future
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We have chosen to bring future generations into this world of rising seas and warming temperatures, droughts and floods, heat waves and wildfires, a world in which one in four mammals and one in eight birds are at risk of disappearing forever. While the damage we've done is irreversible, that doesn't give us the right to do nothing.
- Nov 07, 2020
The most ordinary conditions for observing sailing birds are then the wind and sea are both aft.
- Bad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Hear the birds? Sometimes I like to pretend that I'm deaf and I try to imagine what it's like not to be able to hear them. It's not that bad.
- Lemons
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have an avocado tree at my place in Los Angeles - it's the smoother-skinned one, which tends to be a little stringy. Often the birds or raccoons get the avocados before I can harvest them.

- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Indians walk softly and hurt the landscape hardly more than the birds and squirrels, and their brush and bark huts last hardly longer than those of wood rats, while their more enduring monuments, excepting those wrought on the forests by the fires they made to improve their hunting grounds, vanish in a few centuries.
- Good
- |

The dispersal of juniper seeds is effected by the plum and cherry plan of hiring birds at the cost of their board, and thus obtaining the use of a pair of extra good wings.
- Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If America wishes to preserve her native birds, we must help supply what civilization has taken from them. The building of cities and towns, the cutting down of forests, and the draining of pools and swamps have deprived American birds of their original homes and food supply.
- Feet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most birds are very stiff-necked, like the robin, and as they run or hop upon the ground, carry the head as if it were riveted to the body. Not so the oven-bird, or the other birds that walk, as the cow-bunting, or the quail, or the crow. They move the head forward with the movement of the feet.
- He
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Robin is one of the most native and democratic of our birds; he is one of the family, and seems much nearer to us than those rare, exotic visitants, as the orchard starling or rose-breasted grossbeak, with their distant, high-bred ways.
- Find
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All birds are incipient or would-be songsters in the spring. I find corroborative evidence of this even in the crowing of the cock.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up with two different parakeets - one that lived for five years, and one that lived for 13 years - so I always had a bit of an attraction to birds and it's an oddly good fit to be in a movie about birdwatchers.
- Plants
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When we seed millions of acres of land with these plants, what happens to foraging birds, to insects, to microbes, to the other animals, when they come in contact and digest plants that are producing materials ranging from plastics to vaccines to pharmaceutical products?
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not one of those who can listen to music and write. I need the door closed. Windows shut. Facing the wall. No birds tweeting, views of nature, and so forth.
- Friend
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I invented animals and birds - I had about two dozen. After working on them for six months, I sat down and just for fun wrote two dozen poems to accompany the drawings. It was for no one to every see, but a friend sent me in to an editor.
- Humans
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Hempseed produces no observable high for humans or birds.
- Legs
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Expect
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Keratin can be very colorful, as we see in birds. We'd expect dinosaurs to be very colorful because they basically invented the characteristics we see in birds.
- Impossible
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Ninety-five percent of the eggs produced in America come from factory-farmed birds. Even if free-range farms were hugely more humane, the sheer number of animals raised to satisfy people's desire for eggs, meat, and milk makes it impossible for us to raise them all on small, free-range farms.
- Pigeon
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Pigeon racing is a lousy, greedy, and often unlawful activity. One thing that it is not is kind to birds.
- Nov 07, 2020
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
- Flowers
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a child, I remember my own intensive interest in biology, birds, other animals and flowers and was determined at an early age to become a scientist.
- Morning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I went to Morocco, joined a band called Pegasus, ran out of money, went to Gibraltar and worked on the docks, writing songs about the sun and the morning and the birds.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The parish I live in is a very abrupt, uneven country, full of hills and woods, and therefore full of birds.
- Fast
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
- Noise
