What is the one adaptation all birds have that no other animal has?

However, they are not the only living creatures to have wings, as many insects do as well. Thee are some adaptations that are not found in all species of birds, but which are unique to birds. Flighted birds have light weight hollow bones developed for flight, but this is not found in all birds. Some birds have complex adaptation of the larynx which allows high speed complex bird calls to be created, but again, this is not found in all birds.
