Can obtain more oxygen from each breath of air
Birds typically have nine air sacs: two cervical air sacs, two anterior thoracic air sacs, two posterior thoracic air sacs, two abdominal air sacs, and one interclavicular air sac. These air sacs help birds efficiently exchange gases during respiration and aid in maintaining their lightweight body structure for flight.
The function of air sacs (alveoli) is to provide a large surface area for gas exchange
I believe that air sacs on a bird are like floaties on a human. {If I am wrong please correct me.}
Yes they are and they are found in the lungs of birds.
The air sacs in aquatic animals are used to get okygen bubbles out of water.

Birds lungs are called lungs but birds also possess air sacs for help in respiration .
Multiple air sacs connect to lungs. By Milo Magallanes.
Birds.
The purpose of the air sacs in a bird is to help digest food into the gizzard, and to help it breathe, and stay in the air longer and more smoothly. Hope this helps!
Birds breathe with lungs, in and out through beak and nostrils - pretty much like we do. Some have a sort of secondary system as well, with air sacs and even their hollow bones playing a role - but most it with lungs.
1.For birds to be able to take flight or fly high enough and still obtain enough oxygen, the birds have air sacs. 2.(Air sacs are membranaceous receptacles which communicate with the cavities of the respiratory organs passages, and can through be filled with air.) I really hoped this helped, now remember the answer to the question is number 1. The definition of air sacs is number 2.
