Bird Quotes
(20+ quotes)
Bird quotes came into being when I noticed many of my favorite motivational quotes mentioned birds, singing, and songs as metaphors for self-expression and freedom.
Truthfully – as Joy of Quotes grew, it got harder to find my beloved bird quotes when I needed them, so I created this page! I hope you enjoy these words of encouragement as much as I do. Wishing you lots of sweet inspiration and the joy of hearing birds singing outside your window every morning!
