When humans did not have homes in the early days, they took trees as their abode. When they were hungry, it was the fruit from trees that sustained them. Humans benefit a great deal from trees even today and will continue to do so. Humans acquire wood from trees, and it is from trees that they attain gum and honey. Just as humans take benefit from trees, birds and animals also benefit from them. Almost all birds make nests in trees, and plant-eating birds acquire their food from trees too.
