The second meaning implies that Jesus, speaking in the open air, pointed to some birds nearby while speaking these lines. Birds of the sky literally translates as "birds in heaven," but this was a common expression for birds in flight through the air and does not imply the birds were with God. There are several debates over this verse.

The Parable of the Mote and the Beam by Domenico Fetti c. 1619. The Mote and the Beam is a parable of Jesus given in the Sermon on the Mount [1] in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 7, verses 1 to 5.
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. The New International Version translates the passage as:
Ibis — The word occurs twice in the D.V. (Leviticus 11:17; Isaiah 34:11) as an equivalent for yánshûph; some good authorities, however, though the yánshûph is mentioned among wading birds, do not admit the above identification and think that the Egyptian eagle-owl (Bubo ascalaphus), which they term great owl, is spoken of.
This verse extends the same observations to God's response to prayer. If a flawed human father looks out for his own child, then there is no reason to doubt that the perfectly good God will not have the best interest of his followers in heart. According to this verse, Jesus calls his hearers Greek: Πονηροὶ, poneroi, "evil".
For him the birds of the air and the lilies of the field represented instructors in "religious joy", an appreciation that "there is a today". For him learning joy was to learn to let go of tomorrow, not in the sense of failing to plan or provide, but in giving one's attention to the tasks of today without knowing what they will have meant.
According to this tradition, "evil, though real, is not a 'thing', but rather a direction away from the goodness of the One"; [11] evil is the absence of good, and accordingly, it is technically wrong to say that God created evil, properly speaking. Rather, he created a world which was imperfectly good.
