Are humans the only beings that "create" time?

I was out for my lunchtime jog today, around the golf course. I was
watching birds take off and land in the breezy conditions. It was
interesting to watch the subtle adjustments they would make, especially
when coming in to land. You could see them adjusting their wings in
several ways to send themselves to where they wanted to land. They would
compensate for wind gusts (and lack of wind).

Point is, I cannot come up with any way in which they can cope with the
randomness of the wind and land in the palce they desire without having
an acute sense of time. They obviously are not counting off seconds or
whatever. But they seem to land where they want to, and must be
predicting it by their flight adjustments.
