Ninety-five percent of the eggs produced in America come from factory-farmed birds.

Ingrid Newkirk

Birds and animals probably think without knowing that they think; that is, they have not self-consciousness. Only man seems to be endowed with this faculty; he alone develops disinterested intelligence, intelligence that is not primarily concerned with his own safety and well-being but that looks abroad upon things. John Burroughs

Alone Man Intelligence Safety Animals Own Think Birds Seems Abroad Only Faculty He Primarily Self-Consciousness Develops Knowing Concerned Looks Well-Being Without His Endowed Disinterested Things

The distribution of plants in a given locality is not more marked and defined than that of the birds. Show a botanist a landscape, and he will tell you where to look for the lady's-slipper, the columbine, or the harebell. On the same principles, the ornithologist will direct you where to look for the greenlets, the wood-sparrow, or the chewink. John Burroughs
