Both the cockroach and the bird would get along very well without us, although the cockroach would miss us most.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Alien is gross, scary. There is something in a human being that looks at them and sees it as a cockroach. You can never feel nurturing towards the cockroach.
Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?
Mammals are very close to us, but bugs are strange. They're more mysterious and exotic.
If we were to wipe out insects alone on this planet, the rest of life and humanity with it would mostly disappear from the land. Within a few months.
A fish may love a bird, but where would they live?
All birds are incipient or would-be songsters in the spring. I find corroborative evidence of this even in the crowing of the cock.
It is common knowledge now that we depend on insects for our continued existence; that, without key pollinators, the human population would collapse in less than a decade.
Birds are indicators of the environment. If they are in trouble, we know we'll soon be in trouble.
Long after the bomb falls and you and your good deeds are gone, cockroaches will still be here, prowling the streets like armored cars.
What would be left of our tragedies if an insect were to present us his?
