If you were a bird

Chicken: these are generally skittish and afraid of life; they are lazy and rarely reach their potentials, the simply scratch around the barnyard and cluck. They do not fly but flap. They live in confines of a fence and are satisfied to do so. They cannot handle freedom as they are kept in the chicken yard. When a storm comes, their first response is to flap around the yard, stirring up dirt, and run to the chicken house to huddle fear with all the other chickens  trying to find  a little grub worm on the way.

Magpie: these are overly aggressive bullies who abuse other birds. They are selfish, arrogant, harsh, pushy and self-centered.

Kookaburra: to these birds, life is one big party, one big joke. They do not take anything seriously and laugh at everything (even when laughter is totally unacceptable). They are not sensitive to anything around them and they often wound hurt and offend others.

Vulture: these are also called buzzards. They are garbage collectors of the bird kingdom. They are drawn to death and uncleanness. They enjoy destruction and the filth of life everything corrupt, rotten and stinking.

Parrots and cockatoos: they are the talkers in the bird kingdom. They appear to know much more than they do because they have learnt to repeat what they hear and to mimic what others say. They are all noise and no action, all talk and no depth of experience.

Cuctoo: these birds do not want to work and are happy to sponge off other people. They will not even build their own nests; they look for nests other birds have already built, lay their babies for other birds to raise.

Peacock: if you have ever seen a peacock, you know they strut as if they own the entire world. They are flashy showy, overly ambitious, worldly, full of pride and very self-centered. They love to strut their stuff-clothes, cars, and other things but are selfish and have little or nothing for others in need.

Pelican: the big, jolly pelican has a big mouth and is only interested in eating. It seeks whatever it can find to fill its belly.

Eagle: in the midst of other birds, we find the eagle Bold, strong, courageous, and fiercely devoted. The eagles come in all shapes and sizes but you will recognize them chiefly by their attitudes. Among its other admirable traits, an eagle is loyal and committed a reliable mate and a devoted parent. An eagle has sharp, keen eyesight and knows how to fly efficiently by riding the thermal currents of the earth. This bird dwells on rocks in the high place and is confident to fly alone and to stand alone in life when necessary and to be strong against the storms, spreading its wings and soaring above the clouds and storms of destruction
