They can see everything! So come on! What do you think the idiom ‘to have a bird’s eye view’ means? Thats right it means to be able to see very clearly from a high place what's that you said I got some very interesting information Would you like to know who told me? Well Didn’t you see a little bird told me I can use this idiom when I want to give you some information but i don't want you to know who told me a little bird told me some very interesting information about you
