Genesis 1:20-22
Then God said,“ Let the water swarm with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.”So God created the large sea-creatures and every living creature that moves and swarms in the water, according to their kinds. He also created every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.So God blessed them,“ Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters of the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”

“ If I allow dangerous animals to pass through the land and depopulate it so that it becomes desolate, with no one passing through it for fear of the animals,even if these three men were in it, as I live”— the declaration of the Lord God—“ they could not deliver their sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.

Job 39:26-30
Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread its wings to the south?Does the eagle soar at your command and make its nest on high?It lives on a cliff where it spends the night; its stronghold is on a rocky crag.From there it searches for prey; its eyes penetrate the distance.Its brood gulps down blood, and where the slain are, it is there.

Job 39:13-18
The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but are her feathers and plumage like the stork’s?She abandons her eggs on the ground and lets them be warmed in the sand.She forgets that a foot may crush them or that some wild animal may trample them.She treats her young harshly, as if they were not her own, with no fear that her labor may have been in vain.For God has deprived her of wisdom; He has not endowed her with understanding.When she proudly spreads her wings, she laughs at the horse and its rider.
