Exegesis
The collective dwelling clause veshachenu tachtav kol tsippor kol-kanaph {וְשָׁכְנוּ תַּחְתָּיו צִפּוֹר כָּל־כָּנָף | wə-šaḵ-nû taḥ-tāw ṣip-pôr kōl-kā-nāp} ‘all birds of every wing will dwell under it’ employs repetition and parallelism to stress inclusivity.
In context — Ezekiel 17:23
On the high mountain of Israel I will plant it, and it will send out branches and produce fruit and will become a mighty cedar ; and beneath it will dwell every bird of every wing, and in the shade of its branches they will nest.
