most birds don't but the penguin does
NekoChibi-chan:
No, birds (as in ducks and geese) have very oily feather so they don't get wet. They use their legs to propel them through the water. When they become upset, they do "fly over the water and splash around with their wings a bit.
no theydont, they flap their wings like any other bird
No, birds do not have swim bladders. Swim bladders are internal gas-filled organs found in some fish that help them control their buoyancy in water. Birds use their feathers and wings to stay afloat or swim in water.
They have wings, which they use to swim instead of fly. They have feathers and they lay eggs. They have webbed feet and beaks.
Many flit less birds can swim, such as the emu, the cassowary and the kiwi. However, for the purposes of this question, the best answer is "penguin". Penguins are flightless birds, but their wings are modified to act as flippers. they are fast and efficient swimmers, which is what they need to be able to find food.
Yes. Takahe are birds, and all birds have wings. Even flightless birds have wings, though they are of little or no use.
Because they have the same characteristics such as warm-blooded, egg-laying, feathered vertebrates of the class Aves, having forelimbs modified to form wings. What distinguishes Birds from other animals is the presence of feathers.
if you use the birds DNA, then yes, as the birds DNA doesn't say *no wings*
Birds use their wing muscles to spread out their wings when they are ready to fly. Birds use thermal air currents, updrafts, and wind to soar and flap their wings when needed.
Mostly for flight.
They don't, they use wings.
Penguins flap their flippers to swim underwater, like birds flap their wings to fly through the air. They paddle with their webbed feet when floating on the surface.
Most birds use their wings for flight. Some of the flightless birds, or birds which do not fly much, may use their wings just for balance, especially when perching (e.g. chickens). For some flightless birds such as the kiwi, their wings appear to be without purpose.
