What is the difference between a canine skeleton and a bird skeleton?
Lucykinsman
Cats are carnivores while dogs are omnivorous. Another variation between their skeleton is their skeleton size. A cat has a smaller skeleton compared to a dog. The main difference can be seen from their skull. A dogs skull is bigger and longer than a cat and a cat's skull can be identified from the number of cheek teeth.

How is bird skeleton similar from human skeleton?
The avian (bird) skeleton has many features that resemble the human skeleton, and the majority of the bones are the same, they are only shaped different. When structures are similar in different organisms, they are called homologous. The main difference between the human and bird skeleton is that the bird's skeleton is adapted for flight. For instance, the bones of a bird are hollow which makes the skeleton lighter. The collarbone of the bird is fused for stability and is called the furculum. Color the bones as indicated below. The arm bones of the human consist of the humerus, the radius and the ulna. These bones are also found in the bird. On both skeletons, The leg consists of a long femur which attaches to the pelvis and then two bones of the lower leg. In the bird, these two bones: the tibia and fibula are fused together. In humans, they are separated. You are probably familiar with the tibia of the bird, that's the part you eat called the drumstick. When you eat the thigh of the bird, the bone within it is the femur. On both skeletons, The head of both birds and humans is protected by a large cranium. The upper jaw of the human, and the upper beak of the bird is composed of a bone called the maxilla. The lower jaw, and lower beak is composed of a bone called the mandible. On both skeletons, The differences between the bird and human skeleton are very apparent in the pectoral girdle, which is the place where the forelimbs attach to the spine. The bird's forelimbs are wings and must have a strong support system. The collarbone of the bird is fused to form the furculum, or wishbone. The "shoulderblade" of the human is actually a bone called the scapula, birds have a scapula and they also have an additional shouldblade bone called the corocoid. Another obvious difference between the human and bird skeleton is the shape and size of the sternum. A bird's sternum is large and positioned under the body - flight muscles attach to this bone. The ridge of the bird's sternum is called a keel. The ribs are attached to the spine and to the sternum. On both skeletons, The vertebrae of the bird and human is similar except for the bone where the tail feathers attach, called the pygostyle.
