The sky was turning pearly, and already birds were stirring in a lazy warm-up song.

And the brown bird stirred in the dead man's hair, And it seemed that the dead man stirred.

The birds stirred in the rafters, and finally even Grenn began to chuckle.

Somewhere within her a bird was stirring.

The white birds stirred in their roosts, as if they could sense something ominous.

I do not know how long I wallowed in self-pity before the bird stirred me.

Sleepy birds, perched on branches at the margin of the forest, had stirred at the sound.

A few birds stirred themselves lethargically as I went past.

Very softly he reached out his hand and the little bird did not stir.

Amidst it all, not a bird or insect stirred.
