Mammal bones are less dense and thicker, because they don't have to deal with the stresses of flying. The bones of a bird are thinner, and have a dense structure of internal struts that make the bone exceptionally stiff and strong.
Osteoporosis
Human bones are thicker and denser; bird bones are thinner, hollow and mean less weight on the bird.
Oseteoporosis. "Osteo" is the root word meaning "bones", and the "porous" part indicates that the bones aren't as solid as they should be.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease in which the bones become less dense and more brittle. Osteosclerosis is the medical term meaning abnormal hardening of bone.
Hollow light weight bones means less weight, which results in a bird using less energy to fly and making it easier for the bird to take off from the ground.
Osteoporosis affects the density of the bones in the body. It causes the bones to become less dense and thus weaker and more prone to breaking.
Human bones are thicker and denser; bird bones are thinner, hollow and mean less weight on the bird. In doing so, the birds whole body is lighter and therefore more of a advantage to fly.
Yes, bones tend to float in oil because the density of oil is lower than that of bones. This causes bones to be less dense than oil, allowing them to float on the surface of the oil.
Tobi says: Bird's bones are hollow to help them fly,obviously to reduce weight when they fly. Human bones, on the other hand, are not hollow. We need strong bones to do the things we do, eg: walking, skipping, jumping etc...

Chicken bones have less density than cow bones because they are smaller and lighter in weight due to the size difference between chickens and cows. Additionally, chicken bones have a higher proportion of air spaces compared to cow bones, which further reduces their density.
The type of bone that contains air spaces is called spongy or cancellous bone. This type of bone is less dense than compact bone and is characterized by a mesh-like structure that provides support while making bones lighter. Spongy bone is primarily found at the ends of long bones and in the interior of flat bones.
