Have a look at this page. It explains everything quite well, I think.

Beethoven's odd-numbered symphonies (except his 1st) have an aura of struggle, trauma and majesty with them, while the even numbered symphonies are less involved with such attributes.
The 6th symphony uses a flowing melody as its 1s theme, musical imitations of birds, dance-time melodies to depict peasant enjoyments and a very convincing sounding storm in the symphony. It is a salute to Nature.

He *doesn't* -- he specifically prefaces the work by the comment 'mehr Empfindung als Mahlerei', i.e. 'more [a reflection of] experience than depiction'. Differences start with a 5 movement structure rather than 4 -- if you follow down that route more will reveal themselves to you.
