How a birds body system all work together to enable it to fly?

The circulatory system provides birds with energy to fly and maintain high levels of activity. The respiratory system provides birds with oxygen and also enables flight. The "lift" is from the wing movement, but the real ability for a bird to fly is the fact that their bones are hollow and this makes them much lighter so that they can get lift-off. -Rinkumiah
