View
The word view is about what you can see. When you're on a mountain, you can have a great view of the valley. If you're short, and you go to a concert, you might have a bad view of the band.
Bird's Eye
When I walk in the city, I can see the buildings on the block. My view is limited. But birds can fly very high in the sky. When a pigeon looks at the city, it can see many blocks, and many buildings. The bird's view is very broad and wide. With a bird's-eye view, you can see the big picture.
Where can you see a bird's-eye view of the city? (respond in the comments)
