Bats are not birds as they have no feathers, talons, beaks, or any organ specifically related to birds. The bat's wings are also not the same style as bird's wings. Bats seem to have the same structure in their wings as the human hand. And, they do not lay eggs, they give live birth.
There are a number of obvious differences between bats and birds. Birds have feathers and beaks; bats have no feathers or beaks, but have teeth. A closer examination of the two types of animals shows many other differences as well.
