When did God make the birds, trees, plants and animals?

Gen 1:11 And GodH430 said,H559 Let the earthH776 bring forthH1876 grass,H1877 the herbH6212 yieldingH2232 seed,H2233 and the fruitH6529 treeH6086 yieldingH6213 fruitH6529 after his kind,H4327 whoseH834 seedH2233 is in itself, uponH5921 the earth:H776 and it wasH1961 so.H3651

Gen 1:12 And the earthH776 brought forthH3318 grass,H1877 and herbH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 after his kind,H4327 and the treeH6086 yieldingH6213 fruit,H6529 whoseH834 seedH2233 was in itself, after his kind:H4327 and GodH430 sawH7200 thatH3588 it was good.H2896

Gen 1:26 And GodH430 said,H559 Let us makeH6213 manH120 in our image,H6754 after our likeness:H1823 and let them have dominionH7287 over the fishH1710 of the sea,H3220 and over the fowlH5775 of the air,H8064 and over the cattle,H929 and over allH3605 the earth,H776 and over everyH3605 creeping thingH7431 that creepethH7430 uponH5921 the earth.H776

Gen 1:27 So GodH430 createdH1254 (H853) manH120 in his own image,H6754 in the imageH6754 of GodH430 createdH1254 he him; maleH2145 and femaleH5347 createdH1254 he them.

Here the contradiction is; when did God make the trees? Was it on day three like Gen 1:1-3 says or on day six like Gen 1:26-27 says? I don't plan on spending a lot of time with some of these contradictions because they don't need it. This is one of those times. The account in Gen:1-3 IS when the trees were made. The account in Gen 1:26-27 is the events taking place in the Garden of Eden. Here, God Made these trees just for the garden. The rest of the world was already full of trees. The Bible says that God made the Earth to be inhabited, not desolate. The events taking place in the Garden of Eden, for the most part pertain to that region of Eden only. All will be reviled in sort time. On to the next contradiction.

These are the same question all with different subjects. Trees, birds, and all other animals, plants and all other life were made before man. In the Garden of Eden these things where made again for Adam to name them. Also for Adam to see that he was unique among creation and that he was alone. And yes I know that birds were made from the water on day four and out of the ground in the garden on day six. This not a problem for God. He can make them out of silly putty if he wants. The point is that all of these things where made before man and the events taking place in the garden are confined to the garden, having nothing to do with the rest of creation.
