Contextual Overview
7 God says, "My people, listen to me! People of Israel, I will show my evidence against you. I am God, your God. 8 The problem I have with you is not your sacrifices or the burnt offerings you bring to me everyday. 9 Why would I want more bulls from your barns or goats from your pens? 10 I already own all the animals in the forest. I own all the animals on a thousand hills. 11 I know every bird in the mountains. Everything that moves in the fields is mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not ask you for food. I already own the world and everything in it. 13 I don't eat the meat of bulls or drink the blood of goats." 14 You made promises to God Most High, so give him what you promised. Bring your sacrifices and thank offerings. 15 God says, "Call me when trouble comes. I will help you, and you will honor me."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
I know all the fowls of the mountains,.... God not only knows them, but takes care of them; not a sparrow fails to the ground without his knowledge, and all the fowls of the air are fed by him,
Matthew 10:29; and therefore needed not their turtledoves and young pigeons, which were the only fowls used in sacrifice;
and the wild beasts of the field [are] mine; which are mentioned in opposition to domestic ones, such as they had in their houses or folds,
Psalms 50:9.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I know all the fowls of the mountains - That is, I am fully acquainted with their numbers; their nature; their habits; their residence. I have such a knowledge of them that I could appropriate them to my own use if I were in need of them. I am not, therefore, dependent on people to offer them, for I can use them as I please.
And the wild beasts of the field are mine - Margin, “with me.” That is, they are before me. They are never out of my presence. At any time, therefore, I could use them as I might need them. The word rendered “wild beasts” - זיז zı̂yz - means any moving thing; and the idea here is, whatever moves in the field, or roams abroad. Everything is his - whether on the mountains, in the forest, or in the cultivated field.
