it is feathers
They keep them warm and for most of them ables them to fly.
birds have strong chest muscles and lightweight bones, which enables them to fly. Their feathers, too, are lightweight, which helps them fly. During flight the birds feathers compress, giving it a more streamlined shape which helps it fly faster. Flight takes up a lot of energy, and birds must eat up to 30% of their body weight each day.
They do it to keep warm while migrating or coming back from migration; also to stay away from predators.
If some birds find it too cold, they will go and stay in their nests to keep warm. Some birds fly to other countries where it's warm. Other stay where they are.
Birds are lightweight because they have hollow bones. This helps them fly.
Most birds are able to keep warm because their feathers are very insulating. Also, their nests are wonderful places to go when they would like to huddle up to get toasty warm! And keep in mind that when the weather gets too cold, many birds fly to warmer climates.
A bird's ability to fly is primarily enabled by its large chest muscles, which power its wing movements. Additionally, the unique structure of a bird's skeleton with hollow bones and air sacs reduces its overall weight, making flight more energy-efficient. Birds also have feathers that provide lift and enable them to maneuver in the air.
Bird bodies are made to fly. They have light bones, strong legs, and specially shaped wings. Flying helps birds get away from animals that want to eat them, and makes them better hunters, too. Flying also helps them travel from cold places to warm places, called migration.
It's warm
It helps their aerodynamics, making it easier to fly.
Some birds do not need to fly, such a penguins, because their food is in the ocean, not the air. After time, they have evolved to not fly. A characteristic of a bird is a beak. Every bird has beak. Other animals, such as tortoises, turtles and dolphins, also have beaks. Every bird has feathers. Feathers keep birds warm, to keep the eggs warm and, well, they wouldn't look good without them.
