Birds use the four forces of flight kind of like an airplane does. Lift pulls them up and weight pulls them down. Thrust pulls them up and drag pulls them down.
Birds use their tails for steering, stabilizing, and controlling their speed during flight. By adjusting the angle of their tail feathers, birds can change direction quickly and maintain balance while in the air. Tail movements also help birds navigate through complex aerial maneuvers.
Flightless birds do not need a large keel because they don't have functional wings for flight, so there is no need for the large breastbone attachment needed for flight muscles. The keel is an adaptation found in birds that use their wings for sustained flight.
You could use a dynamic model that considers the aerodynamic forces acting on a bird in flight, such as an ornithopter model that simulates the flapping motion of bird wings. You could also use a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to study the airflow around bird wings during flight.
Birds are known for preening themselves. Preening is an important part of their daily grooming routine where they use their beaks to clean and arrange their feathers. It helps them maintain their feathers in optimal condition for flight and insulation.
The Karearea, or New Zealand falcon, primarily preys on other birds such as fantails, tui, and pigeons. They are skilled hunters and use their speed and agility to catch their prey in flight. They also eat insects and small mammals when birds are not available.
Burrowing owls are affected by the four forces of flight like any other bird. (Lift, weight, thrust, and drag are the forces) Lift pulls you up, weight pulls you down, thrust pulls you forward, and drag pulls you back.
Mostly for flight.
The birds quickly took flight.

Heracles shook a rattle that Athena gave him to get the birds to take flight and then shot as many of them as he could.
Living things or flying devices can use unbalanced forces to control flight by adjusting the distribution of lift, thrust, weight, and drag. By creating a difference in these forces, they can generate the necessary lift and propulsion to maneuver through the air, change direction, or ascend/descend as needed. By continuously adjusting these forces, they can maintain stability and control during flight.

Birds use their wings as an adaptation for survival and flight by flapping them to generate lift and thrust, allowing them to fly and escape predators, find food, and migrate long distances. Their wings also help them maneuver in the air and maintain balance while perched or in flight.
It is used mostly for flight- like a rudder on a boat. It is also used for balance, and, in mating season, some male birds use it for display.

Their wings cause they use it to fly by flapping it
These birds are insect eaters, and in common with other carnivorous birds that seek food on the wing, they use their fan of tail feathers to provide braking of flight in order to change direction quickly.
