Personal note: Birds are great metaphors for songwriters that want to tell stories about either vulnerability and beauty (singing birds) or danger and power (birds of prey). But the best thing is that birds can fly! They symbolize freedom and offer an helicopter view to the scenes you're describing. So for your next song... try a bird or two.
