Genesis 1:20-22
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl[ that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that[ it was] good.And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

Job 39:26-30
Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom,[ and] stretch her wings toward the south?Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.From thence she seeketh the prey,[ and] her eyes behold afar off.Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain[ are], there[ is] she.

Job 39:13-18
[ Gavest thou] the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.She is hardened against her young ones, as though[ they were] not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
