About this Quote

This quote by William Bartram speaks with the relationship in between birds and humans. He keeps in mind that while birds can be seen in desert forests, they are not many. Rather, he observes that birds tend to approach to the habitations of people. This recommends that birds are attracted to the existence of human beings, likely due to the schedule of food and shelter. This is an intriguing insight into the relationship between humans and animals, and how animals are drawn to the existence of humans. It likewise speaks with the value of maintaining natural environments for animals, as they are frequently drawn to the presence of human beings and can be adversely impacted by human activity.
