To solve the problem, we need to find out how many birds are at the zoo compared to the number of birds counted outside the school.

1. **Known Conditions:**
   - Total birds at the zoo: $$ 317 $$
   - Birds counted outside the school: 
     - In trees: $$ 189 $$
     - On telephone wires: $$ 78 $$

2. **Calculate the total number of birds outside the school:**
   $$
   \text{Total birds outside} = \text{Birds in trees} + \text{Birds on wires} = 189 + 78
   $$

3. **Calculate the difference between the birds at the zoo and the birds outside the school:**
   $$
   \text{Difference} = \text{Birds at the zoo} - \text{Total birds outside}
   $$

Now, let's perform the calculations step by step.

First, we will calculate the total number of birds outside the school.

$$
\text{Total birds outside} = 189 + 78
$$

Next, we will find the difference between the birds at the zoo and the total birds outside.

$$
\text{Difference} = 317 - \text{Total birds outside}
$$

Let's calculate these values.
Calculate the value by following steps:
- step0: Calculate:
  $$189+78$$
- step1: Add the numbers:
  $$267$$
Calculate or simplify the expression $$ 317 - (189 + 78) $$.
Calculate the value by following steps:
- step0: Calculate:
  $$317-\left(189+78\right)$$
- step1: Add the numbers:
  $$317-267$$
- step2: Subtract the numbers:
  $$50$$
1. **Total birds outside the school:**
   $$
   189 + 78 = 267
   $$

2. **Difference between the birds at the zoo and the birds outside the school:**
   $$
   317 - 267 = 50
   $$

Therefore, there are **50 more birds at the zoo than outside the school**.
There are 50 more birds at the zoo than outside the school.
