It suggests his bewilderment at the idea of the authorities imposing their language even on nature, highlighting how far-reaching and intrusive the effects of political decisions can be. This thought encapsulates his fear of losing not only his language but also the essence of his identity and connection to his homeland.

From the chapter The Last Lesson.
Give answer according to your understanding.
Franz a little boy like many other French citizens had little or no interest in their native language. When he came to know about government orders, he felt pity for all French people. He started thinking that this rule can only run on humans. He thinks so because his eyes fall on a pigeon sitting outside the classroom and he is forced to think if such law can be enforced on animals and birds. The answer was certainly NO because they aren’t slaves, they have no enmity with anyone and they were free to roam across any borders. Then why such compulsion on humans. All such thoughts disturbed him.
