“…how birds look like…”
Just one of many issues with the English here.
- what it looks like
- how it looks
You need to pick a lane.
I typically assume it’s a non-native speaker with things like this, but I’m not sure in this case.
I’d read this with commas around ‘like’, rather than with a period after it: “… how birds look, like, I’m afraid” works as a sentence while “… how birds look like. I’m afraid” is both wrong, like you point out, but also sounds much more serious than the jokey tone I’d expect from a message without punctuation and capitalization
Did you understand what was being communicated? Yes? Congratulations!
Because, really, that’s generally all that’s necessary.
