the birds pick out the seeds and carry them off and usually drop them somwhere. So that is what they have to do with it.

Another way of putting that would be \n"birds of a feather flock together" \nI think that basically says the same thing, don't you?

The bee's knees means the best. \n\nThe term is thought to come from the fact that bees store honey in small sacks behind their knees as they gather it to be brought back to the nest. \n\nHowever, another theory is that it comes from the B's and E's, as in the be all and end all.

Birds have ears, however they do not stick out like ours. Birds will die anywhere. If they all went somewhere special there would be an enormous pile of dead birds somewhere and I have not yet heard of "Dead Bird Mountain".

The 'birds' are the girls and the 'B's' are the boys.  All boys are 'B's'.  They usually call the birds 'Honey' and get themselves all sticky with it.  They like 'flowers' when the 'birds' lose them.  The birds, once happy, stay in their nests but the B's fly around from one flower to another totally ignoring their bird.\nThe sting comes later when the 'Cuckoo' arrives and gives the bird a couple of eggs unbeknown to the B.........

My 10 year old has been asking a series of questions on this subject recently and I just answer the specific question. She is obviously having trouble sorting it out in her mind. She understood about "the birds and the bees" but this puzzles her more.

Historically, storks have been associated with happiness and prosperity. For many years, the birds were believed to be strictly monogamous creatures. This apparent faithfulness inspired many cultures to attach idealized parental traits to the birds.

It means to travel through the air.  A bird does this by the "lift" of the air under its wings.  Planes use the same method, but must be moving fast enough and so are propelled by engines.\n\nIcarus flew with wings made from bird feathers that were held together by wax.  He flew too close to the sun and.... well... if you don't know it, you can guess the rest of the story.\n\nTo fly an also mean to be free.  Let yourself FLY!  Unhindered and with reckless abandon.\n\nSue

Could be "Bird-dogs"\nIn the UK and other English speaking nations, birds is a slang term for women, and girls.\nBirds or Bird-dogging, could mean someone who chases the ladies.\nThat's my guess.

Hey, I put that on here AGES ago, my Dad told it to me when I was little. It goes: I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant pluckers son, and I'm only plucking pheasants 'til the pheasant plucker comes!

**********************************************************************\n\nDon't feel bad. Nobody explained it to me, either, and I must say I made quite an impression that first night with the honey and feathers. But now I'm hip. The significance of the birds and bees isn't what they do, it's simply that they do it, "it," naturally, being a tussle in the tumbleweeds, or wherever it is that the lower orders engage in sex. As such it's the perfect euphemism for a culture so prudish that even publishers of girlie magazines used to airbrush out the pubic hair.\n\nWhere exactly "the birds and the bees" originated nobody knows, but word sleuths William and Mary Morris hint that it may have been inspired by words like these from the poet Samuel Coleridge: "All nature seems at work ... The bees are stirring--birds are on the wing ... and I the while, the sole unbusy thing, not honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing." Making honey, pairing ... yes, we can definitely tell what Sam had on his mind.\n\nThe Morrises offer the theory that schools in years past taught about sex by "telling how birds do it and how bees do it and trusting that the youngsters would get the message by indirection." Right. Luckily for the perpetuation of the species, there's always been Louie in the schoolyard to explain how things really worked.\n\n*********************************************************************
