Creation of birds

Question:

Adam was created from clay. Angels from light, Jinn/Shaitan from fire. Animals from water. How were birds created? Reply with reference from Qur’an.
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and  Messenger.

Allah has created the birds from water like all other animals, because they are included in the Saying of Allah: {And We have made from water every living thing…..} [Quran 21:30].

There is another confirmation about the fact that they are created from water in the Saying of Allah: {Allâh has created every moving (living) creature from water. ….} [Qruan 24:45].

Allah explained that in details in the verse: {….Of them there are some that creep on their bellies,…}, like snakes and the like, {…some that walk on two legs,…} like birds, {…and some that walk on four….} like all other animals.

Allah knows best.
