The Birds' Revenge The most common explanation is that the birds, with their crimson beaks and claws, represent nature. Of course, we're talking about nature's terrible, overwhelming force, over which we have no control. I've never seen diverse species of birds flock together. I think maybe if they were capable of reasoning, they would realize that eating each other is not a good strategy for survival. So perhaps the birds in the sky are warning us that destruction lies within our own hands. The Birds Are God's Messengers The Bible tells us that birds are important to God; they play an important role in communication from one part of the planet to another. They're also useful animals to have around - many cultures used to use them for food or medicine. So it's natural that God would use creatures so powerful yet so simple as birds to send messages to humans. Birds Are My Guides God has always shown me things through his creations. From the day I opened my eyes to see this world, I've been given visions of what's coming next by watching birds fly or fish swim. It started when I was young - before I could read, write, or understand why people did the things they did- I'd watch my parents talk together while walking in the woods or along the shoreline and know what they were going to say even before they said it.
