Birds fly by generating lift through the movement of their wings. The main mechanisms involved in a bird's flight include flapping their wings to create thrust and lift, adjusting the shape of their wings to control direction and speed, and using their tail feathers for stability and maneuverability. Additionally, birds use their body weight and muscle strength to control their altitude and navigate through the air.

How fast does a goose fly with no wind?

Birds don't necessarily need wind to fly. The flight can become easier when there is wind, depending on the circunstances, but that doesn't mean that a bird cannot fly in the absence of wind. It can become more tiring if the bird is adapted to flight with wind, but the movement of the wings still creates an upward and forward force that keeps the bird flying. For specifics about how do birds fly, search for that question.
