Fine feathers make fine birds.

I found a bird whose wing was severely damaged.

Of those 2 or 3 were pushed out of the nest, and then fell down from the balcony as well.

The feathered balls you hit with a battledore are the seeds of a large tree called 'soapberry'.

A creepy cry that sounds like a human voice, velvet black wings, the image of tearing into dead flesh; crows are known across the world as an ill-omened bird that flies down with ill-luck.
