They start flapping their wings and generally run in the direction they want to go.

Some start at a height, for example taking off from a tree or a cliff edge.

Water birds such as Swans run allong the water to take off.

Birds take off by using their strong leg muscles to push off the ground and their wings to generate lift. They may also use the wind to help them take flight by running into it before lifting off. Once in the air, birds flap their wings to gain altitude and speed.
