Some energy source is required to overcome the unavoidable drag of pushing through the air, to lift the bird or airplane up to flying height, and to give the bird or airplane kinetic energy. Airplanes use propellers or jet engines. Birds use strong muscles in their breasts to flap their wings. In addition, bird wings are hinged, while airplane wings are riged and fixed. The bird uses its strong muscles to push its wings downwards, pushing air downwards, generating lift, and, if the wings are angled properly, also thrust. The big problem then becomes not pushing air back upwards when the bird moves its wings up for the return stroke. They have no teeth and hollow bones

The forelimbs of birds are adapted to fly. So they are converted into wings. So there is serious loss of forelimb functions. But then you have to pay the price for everything you get in return. The bones of birds are hollow to large extent and they have air spaces in there body to make it light. So they can fly. The bat is a mammal and do have forelimbs. Here the skin is used as wings. But then again the functions of the forelimbs are adversely affected.
