How do a birds feathers help a bird to fly?
A bird's feathers are specially designed to be lightweight, yet strong and flexible. They help create lift and thrust during flight by providing a large surface area for air to push against. Additionally, feathers help birds to control their speed and direction while flying.
Why do different birds have different shaped wings?
Different bird species have adapted to their environments over time, resulting in wings with varying shapes to suit different flight patterns and behaviors. Wing shape influences how birds maneuver in the air, such as for soaring, diving, or agile aerial movements. Birds with long, narrow wings are better suited for gliding and soaring, while those with shorter, rounded wings are more agile for quick and precise flight.
How does the air around a birds wing cause lift?
The shape of a bird's wing, with a curved upper surface and flat lower surface, creates a pressure difference between the top and bottom. When the bird moves its wings through the air, a higher air pressure below the wing pushes the bird up due to the pressure difference and creates lift. This lift helps the bird to fly.
How do the birds wing help them?
Without wings, birds couldn't fly.
Found on bird's body or wing and adds to it's streamlined shape?

What distinguishing features does a small white bird with black wing tips have?
A small white bird with black wing tips is likely a seagull. Seagulls are known for their white feathers and black wing tips, which help them stand out against the sky. These birds are often seen near bodies of water and are known for their scavenging behavior.
What is important about a bird's wing's shape?
A bird's wing is shape like an airfoil. (See the related link Diagram of an airfoil below.) The airfoil is curved more on top, so the air flowing over the top of the airfoil moves faster that the air underneath. This creates more pressure underneath the wing, pushing up and generating a force called lift. This force keeps the birds in the air. (This is also how the wings of an airplane work.)
