(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐξῆλθεν Ὁ σπείρων τοῦ σπεῖραι τόν σπόρον αὐτοῦ Καί ἐν τῷ σπείρειν αὐτόν ὅ μέν ἔπεσεν παρά τήν ὁδόν καί κατεπατήθη καί τά πετεινά τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατέφαγεν αὐτό)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐξῆλθεν Ὁ σπείρων τοῦ σπεῖραι τόν σπόρον αὐτοῦ Καί ἐν τῷ σπείρειν αὐτόν ὅ μέν ἔπεσεν παρά τήν ὁδόν καί κατεπατήθη καί τά πετεινά τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατέφαγεν αὐτό)

In your language, it might seem that this phrase expresses unnecessary extra information. If so, you could abbreviate it. However, you could also use an action clause to keep the sense of sky. Alternate translation: [birds] or [birds flew down and]

κατέφαγεν αὐτό

devoured it

Alternate translation: [ate it all] or [ate them all]
