Saint Francis of Assisi was born Giovanni Francesco di Bernardone (1181 – 1226). Italian Catholic preacher, he founded the men's Franciscan Order, the women’s Order of St. Clare and the lay Third Order of Saint Francis.
He once was on a road where birds filled the trees on either side. They surrounded him, intrigued by the power of his voice, and not one of them flew away.
« Imagine Saint Francis with a dove perched on his shoulder. Could you see him kneeling with the animals as he shares his supper? Saint Francis as a Bird Feeder makes perfect sense if you know about his miracles. I like to imagine Saint Francis with the animals, a squirrel on his shoulder, a fawn standing beside him and flocks of birds perched on his outstretched arms. There are several stories about Saint Francis and his love for birds.» St. Francis and the birds
