What three adaptations do birds have for flight?
Birds have lightweight, hollow bones which reduce overall body weight, allowing for easier flight. Their feathers provide both aerodynamic properties and insulation to regulate body temperature during flight. Additionally, birds have a high metabolic rate to provide the energy needed for sustained flight.
Which water bird can carry more than it can eat in its huge beak?
Why can long bones hollow out without jeopardy to their integrity?
This is because the weight that bears down on the bone is off center and bends it. Bending compresses the bone on one side and subjects it to stretching on the other. However, both forces are minimal towards the center so the structure of the bone is not compromised.

Why are flightless birds flightless?
There are 7 families of truly flightless birds in total. They include the Kiwi, Cassowaries, Rheas, Ostriches, Tinamous, Emus and Penguins.
Some of these belong to the family of birds known as ratites. Ratites include the Southern cassowary of Australia and New Guinea, the emu of Australia, the kiwi from New Zealand, the ostrich from Africa and the rhea from South America.
Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird needs to fly. Also, their wings are also too small by comparison to lift them.
Like ratites, penguins are flightless because they have wings which are too small to support their body weight. Unlike the majority of other birds, penguins do not have hollow bones, so are much heavier and harder to support with their small wings. The solid, as opposed to hollow, bones act as ballast to help them dive. Also, being solid, they are less prone to breakage from the stresses of swimming. Penguins eat fish. The fish they eat swim fairly deep under water, so flying is not an advantage in getting the fish, but swimming is. Therefore, penguins swim rather than fly. Quite simply, they don't fly because they don't need to.

Where do birds refresh themselves?
Birds refresh themselves by bathing in water sources like ponds, streams, or bird baths. Bathing helps birds maintain their feathers by removing dirt and oil, and also helps regulate their body temperature. Additionally, birds may also refresh themselves by preening their feathers to keep them in good condition.
