A rigid skeleton helps birds by providing structural support and enabling them to maintain a lightweight body, which is essential for flight. The rigidity of their bones allows for the attachment of powerful muscles necessary for flapping wings and navigating through the air. Additionally, the fusion of certain bones enhances stability and reduces the overall weight, further improving their aerodynamic efficiency. Overall, a rigid skeleton is crucial for a bird's ability to fly effectively.
It has a rigid skeleton but the body is flexible.

No. Kiwi are birds, and all birds have an internal skeleton. They are vertebrates, just as mammals are.
Yes! Birds do have a skeleton. In fact birds even have some of the same bones as humans such as.... Skull, Femur, Pelvis Ribs.
Because a plant has no skeleton, its support is found in it's cells. The cells have a rigid cell wall for support and structure.
Yes, they do.
The rigid structures that make up the skeleton are bones. The human skeleton is composed of 206 bones that provide support, protection, and leverage for movement. These bones are connected by joints, ligaments, and tendons to form a complete framework for the body.
They both perform the function of providing a rigid structure.
A lightweight and rigid.
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.
The anatomical feature is a "rigid skeleton" (as opposed to a flexible one).
