Birds is use they wing to keep them up. They flap and up in air.
By moving their wings in a flapping motion, along with angling their bodies and internally measuring their speed, they are able to maintain a constant elevation. Some birds travel in V forms to ease the burden on the bird behind them, constantly swapping positions to keep any one bird from having a harder time than another.

What is the force that birds must overcome while flying in the air?
Gravity
Why are magnets able to overcome force of gravity?
You don't specifically need a magnet to overcome the force of gravity; ANY force that is stronger than gravity can "overcome" it, at least temporarily. For example, if you lift an object up, you are "overcoming" the force of gravity.
WHAT FORCE MUST BE OVERCOME TO REACH ORBIT?
gravity
What is the main force a rocket must overcome to reach orbit?

When using a pulley to lift box what force are you trying to overcome?
Gravity
This vehicle can overcome the Earth's gravity because it expels a gas with a force equal to the pull of gravity?
hovercraft
What is the name of the speed at which a rocket can overcome the force of gravity?
Moving Speed, once the rocket is even moving 0.00000001 mph it is overcoming the force of gravity.
What is meant by gravity balanced by electricity?
The given phrase has little meaning. But levitation by a magnet can overcome the force of gravity.
How lava travels?
It travels as a liquid, in response to gravity and obstructions, until friction or solidification overcome the force of gravity.
How is an object's mass related to the upward force needed to overcome the pull of gravity?
The upward force would have to overcome gravity, so the force should be F > -mg. Since the upward force and gravity work in opposite direction you can disregard the mass of the object (they cancel: F(gravity) = F(upward) => mg = -m(g+x)) . Consequently the object's mass is irrelevant.
What force must a rocket overcome to be launched into space?
Alright, it is mainly the force of gravity. This is because if there was no gravity, you do not heat energy to fire the rocket up.
Why do rockets use thrust?
Rockets use thrust to overcome the force of Earth's gravity.
