[AERNet] birds and blind kids

And birds naturally fly away from creatures larger than they are, including humans.

                        Question: What is a very articulate, concise way to explain to a young congenitally blind child why h/she can hear birds, but cannot touch them? In other words, the temptation of some very young children who have never seen is to hear the birds chirping and to believe that they can simply run up to that bird and touch it, yet the birds will always flee. How can one concisely and simplistically explain the reason for this?
