Oh dear, another one... OK, a quick course in 20th century bbsing.

INTERNET/WWW 101:
The INTERNET is a world-wide computer system that originally connected
universities, colleges and US government offices. It became "open to the
public" with the increase in use by college kids for non-study related
conversations. Soon AOL, Prodigy and other pay services began accessing
it. The next step was the WWW (world wide web). This links "pages" all
over the world together with a simple 'point-n-click' access called a
"web browser".
Pages are documents with photos, sound or video, that may either be ads
for a company's product or service, or put out by a web-amateur (such
as myself) for fun. Many pages are JUST for fun, such as the web page
where you can check the temperature and operating condition of some
guy's hot tub, or peek in on an African grey residing in an office in
California 24 hours a day (except when the bird cage is covered so the
bird can sleep).
Yes, you need Internet access to use the Web. No, it's not hard to
learn--in fact, in some ways, it's easier than Fido because the web
browser does a lot for you automatically.
NOW, to make this on-topic, there are TONS of WWW pages that are bird
related out on the web. Many of the existing web pages have some great
photos, and/or information relating to care, species or health. And
there are more "birdy" web pages popping up literally every day.
I hope this answers your questions!
