Birds are lightweight because they have hollow bones. This helps them fly.
they are light enough to fly
Hollow bones, light body, large lungs and compact skeletal system.
Birds have feathers, wings, and strong yet lightweight bones which help them fly. Their unique skeletal structure allows for efficient flight by reducing overall weight while maintaining strength.
Birds have hollow bones to help them fly.
The phylum that has the adaptive feature of pneumatic bones is Chordata. Pneumatic bones are lightweight structures filled with air that help reduce the weight of the skeleton, making it easier for organisms to fly or swim, such as in birds.
their bones are hollow to make them lighter, and more legible for flight. if they had solid bones they wouldn't be able to fly as fast, high or as maneuverable as they are now. Hope this helped! (:
Adaptation is when a species develops or adjusts to a niche in the environment.
Hollow bones in birds reduce their weight, making it easier for them to fly. This lightweight structure also allows for efficient oxygen distribution within the bones, which aids in maintaining high metabolism needed for flight. Ultimately, hollow bones contribute to the bird's overall agility and maneuverability in the air.

Birds have some bones in their bodies that are "hollow." These are called pneumatic bones, and they help birds breathe when they are in flight. The bones of the pelvic girdle, some ribs, the humeru,s and the femur all are pneumatic.
Birds have hollow bones to help them fly. Solid bones would add to much weight and make it impossible to fly.
Birds have hollow bones. (Except for penguins, which now have solid bones to help them dive)
