Sing like a bird, fly like a bird, as free as a bird, eat like a bird, and as cosy as the nest of a bird are all similes using the word bird. A simile is when you compare two things using "like" or "as".
As shocked as a bird landing on live wire. :)

The swing went back and forth like a pendulum.The swing soared into the sky like a bird
A metaphor directly substitute one thing for another as a comparison. Instead of using a simile, "Hope is like a bird," the metaphor might be, "Hope is a thing with feathers."
The simile is 'as free as a bird', meaning to have unlimited freedom like a bird, as they can fly in the endless, outstretched sky.
That is a simile. Jenny is a bird is a metaphor.

'Her voice was as beautiful as a singing bird' is a simile. Similes are comparisons of unlike things that are usually formed with the words as or like.
It is a Metaphor
Any comparison that uses like or as is a simile. Otherwise it is a metaphor. Like a giant bird flapping its wings, the airplane flew over the field. Simile. The airplane accelerated down the runway and with a mighty leap the giant bird flew into the sky. Metaphor
The simile in the poem "Boy on a Swing" compares the boy's swing to a "giant bird on the wing" to convey the image of the swing soaring through the air as if it were a bird in flight.
"The violin sang sweetly like a bird in flight."
As shocked as a bird landing on live wire. :)
That phrase is a simile because you used like. Any comparison using like or as is a simile. "He was as big as a mountain" is a simile. You could make it a metaphor by saying Jenny's voice is a bird singing a beautiful song. :D
Leaving me like a plucked bird, ready for roasting.
