And now your trying to put words in my mouth. Dishonesty is your specialty.
Your blind bird can not possibly see anything but didn't you know that the rest of the senses in a blind creature pick up what is lost in one of the sense?
From this FACT you should have understood that the blind bird could perceive the knowledge in a different way.
Suppose that the male bird sing something to the female bird.
Normally if the blind female bird would perceive suppose a 0 out of 100 with her sight the hearing would achieve 100 out of 100 so she still would be able to get the knowledge one way or another.
Now suppose that the little Rik can not understand your intellectual jargon.
Does that means that Rik can not perceive your intentions any other way?
You never thought of it surgen, didn't you?
You sound reasonable. However, I witness how short this reasonable state will last. Yet you still misunderstand the analogy. The male bird showing off his nest is analogous to people here pointing to evidence. You're the blind bird who cannot witness the awesome of it. You can only hear about it but cannot comprehend the whole of it. That is the meaning of the blind bird analogy.
