God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages.- Jacques Deval

"Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings." – Victor Hugo

"I would rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach 10,000 stars how not to dance." – E.E. Cummings (I love this one)

Love all these bird sayings.
Here's some for consideration.
Hosea 11:11 "They will come from Egypt, trembling like sparrows, from Assyria, fluttering like doves. I will settle them in their homes," declares the Lord.

Matthew 10:29 "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care."

Matthew 6:26
"Look at the birds of the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more important than they?"
Since we love our finches/birds so much? Just imagine how much God loves us! :mrgreen:

The one I posted was a wall decal...try Michael's or Hobby Lobby! The sell packets of rub on wall letters so you can make up your own sayings.

I love this one too...so many to choose from...sadly, I cant find a decal set that has a bird quote. I am still on the hunt for letters, but mostly I find silly alphabet letters. Still looking...

Maybe use these? Peel and stick dry erase wall decals--pick your shape, write your quotes, change them whenever you feel like them:

Or print on clear labels and put those up, they come in sizes up to entire sheets you could print the whole saying, and then cut it into strips or whatever arrangement you wanted:
