Birds teach us this:
Don't stay in one place too long
Follow the good vibes
stick to what you are good at
Enjoy life
It's ok to get drunk

Probably something about flying and being free that we've all heard a thousand times before.
Seriously though, it's that eating chillies, eating nuts, pooping on people's cars and getting away with it is the road to enlightenment.

The lesson I learned from birds is that I do not fly no matter how high I jump from.
I learned that one the hard way.

When a pigeon shits on your head while you are walking in the park, it shows you that there is no purpose to life. It is random.

A fish swims in the ocean, and no matter how far it swims there
is no end to the water. A bird flies in the sky, and no matter how
far it flies there is no end to the air. However, the fish and the bird
have never left their elements. When their activity is large their
field is large. When their need is small their field is small. Thus,
each of them totally covers its full range, and each of them totally
experiences its realm. If the bird leaves the air it will die at once. If
the fish leaves the water it will die at once.
Know that water is life and air is life. The bird is life and the
fish is life. Life must be the bird and life must be the fish. You can
go further. There is practice-enlightenment which encompasses
limited and unlimited life.
Now if a bird or a fish tries to reach the end of its element before
moving in it, this bird or this fish will not find its way or its place.
When you find your place where you are, practice occurs, actualiz-
ing the fundamental point. When you find your way at this mo-
ment, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point; for the
place, the way, is neither large nor small, neither yours nor others.
The place, the way, has not carried over from the past, and it is not
merely arising now. Accordingly, in the practice-enlightenment of
the buddha way, to attain one thing is to penetrate one thing; to
meet one practice is to sustain one practice.
Here is the place; here the way unfolds. The boundary of real-
ization is not distinct, for realization comes forth simultaneously
with the mastery of buddha-dharma. Do not suppose that what you
attain becomes your knowledge and is grasped by your intellect.
Although actualized immediately, the inconceivable may not be ap-
parent. Its appearance is beyond your knowledge.

Also, birds leave no footprints.

When you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.
When you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.
When you put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless.. like water.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like the mind, water cannot be calmed by force.
Only when left alone can water become still.
