Bird bones serve several critical functions, primarily related to flight and overall physiology. They are lightweight and hollow, reducing body weight while maintaining strength, which is essential for flight. Additionally, many bird bones are fused for added stability and rigidity, allowing for efficient movement during flight. Beyond structural support, bones also play roles in calcium storage and the production of blood cells within the bone marrow.
