plural of bird
"The flock of birds took flight as the sun began to set over the lake."
In plain English: Birds are warm-blooded animals with feathers and wings that most of them can fly.
"We saw many colorful birds flying over the park today."
Usage: Use "birds" to refer to two or more members of the animal class Aves, such as sparrows or eagles. Do not use this plural form when referring to a single flying creature, which remains "bird."
Derived from Old English brid, this plural form originally referred to any flying creature with feathers, claws, and wings. It stems from the Proto-Germanic root brīðaz, meaning "broad" or "wide," likely alluding to the expansive wing span of these animals.
