The possession of four pulmonary veins, along with the fact that a bird's heart is generally larger and more muscular per pound (or kilogram) or body weight than ours, explains why a bird's circulatory system is more efficient than ours. The left ventricle in a bird's heart is by far the largest chamber and has to work exceptionally hard in small birds which have hovering flight such as humming birds.
