For example, they may sing like a bird, fly like a bird, and more. We go about our ordinary lives, unnoticed, as the birds ignore or tolerate us. Sometimes birds live in and off our discards deposited in Walmart parking lots and other desolate portions of human habitats. It's sad to see that bird numbers and the annual bird counts have noted their vanishing.…
