Birds have wings they're free they can fly where they want when they want. They have the kind of mobility many people envy.
Birds are indicators of the environment. If they are in trouble, we know we'll soon be in trouble.

The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature. We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters... and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.
