Birds are Warm-Blooded

Birds are warm-blooded animals with internal skeletons. They all have wings and feathers. Not all birds can fly.

 All Flying birds have

- A streamlined body shape. This helps birds to travel through the air smoothly by cutting down air resistance.
- A light, water proof covering of feathers all over their body. The feathers help birds to fly and keep body heat in, so they stays warm.
- Two wings covered with extra-strong flight feathers. The wings help to raise the bird into the air and the bird keeps itself flying by flapping them.
- A horny pointed beak the feeding. Different birds have differently shaped beaks.
- Lightweight, party hollow bones.
- Scaly legs and feet with three or four toes and sharp claws.

Some birds cannot fly

The largest bird, the ostrich from Africa cannot fly, but it can run at 65 km/hour.

Water birds

They have long legs for wadding. Flamingoes have special shaped beaks to get the food they need from the mud.

 

All birds lay eggs.

Beaks

Birds that eat insects have a sharp beak to catch the insects that they eat.
