How do Birds use the Four Forces of Flight?

Birds use the four forces of flight (lift, weight, thrust, and drag) by flapping their wings to generate lift and thrust. They adjust the shape and angle of their wings to control lift and maneuverability, while altering their body position and speed to manage drag and weight. By combining these forces effectively, birds can achieve sustained flight for various purposes such as foraging, migration, and predator evasion.
