Tim Birkhead Zitate

Compared with mammals, birds have relatively large eyes. In simple terms, a bigger eye means better vision, and excellent vision is essential for avoiding collisions in flight, or for capturing fast-moving or camouflaged prey. Birds' eyes, however, are deceptive - they are bigger than they look.

Im Vergleich zu Säugetieren haben Vögel relativ große Augen. Einfach ausgedrückt bedeutet ein größeres Auge eine bessere Sicht, und hervorragende Sicht ist unerlässlich, um Kollisionen im Flug zu vermeiden oder um sich schnell bewegende oder getarnte Beute zu erfassen. Die Augen der Vögel täuschen jedoch - sie sind größer als sie aussehen.

My birthmark essentially looks like I have a black eye. It isn't that bad, so you can imagine if it has been this big a part of my life, think of what it must be like for children with more serious birthmarks that cover half their face.

The terms of poetry - some simple, some complicated, some ancient, some new - should bring us closer to what we're hearing, enlarging our experience of it, enabling us to describe what we're reading, to feel and think with greater precision.

I have been compared to Mao since we were both junior skaters. We've felt the rivalry since then, so we wanted to avoid each other. However, she has been my motivation.

The way to make the world a better place, through your eating, is simply to eat a bit less meat. Local is sometimes good, sometimes bad. But even when it's good, its environmental impact is relatively small compared to other possible improvements.
