Bible Verses About Birds: Habits of

"An ostrich's wings beat wildly, although its pinions lack plumage.

It leaves its eggs on the ground and lets them be warmed by the sand,

forgetting that a foot may crush them or a wild animal trample on them.

It treats its chicks heartlessly, as if they were not its own; even if her labor is in vain, it really doesn't care;

because God has deprived it of wisdom and given it no share in understanding.

When the time comes, it flaps its wings, scorning both horse and rider.

"Is it your wisdom that sets the hawk soaring, spreading its wings toward the south?

Does the eagle fly up when you say so, to build its nest in the heights?

It lives and spends its nights on the cliffs; a rocky crag is its fortress.

From there it spots its prey, its eyes see it far off.

Its young ones suck up blood; wherever the slain are, there it is."
