even though the bird is smaller than its wings, it doesn't mean it weights less then the wings, it weights more than the wings, but the main reason for its flight, is from its bones; the bones are hollow, compared to a human bone, which its filled with a spongy liquidy solid or a non-newtonian fluid called bone marrow. If we had hallow bones like birds, we could jump really high up in the air. The wings cause an updraft to just "hover" or "propel" itself through the air, the wings are what causes it to move around and change direction. The bones, are what help it stay in the air, and lift off. We can't do that because of our bones, but birds can.

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.
What other groups of animals fly?
Besides birds, other groups of animals that fly include insects (such as bees, butterflies, and dragonflies), bats, and some species of fish (like flying fish). These animals have adapted unique anatomical features and behaviors that allow them to move through the air.
What adaptations does a bird have?
Birds have adaptations such as hollow bones to reduce weight for flight, a unique respiratory system that allows efficient oxygen exchange during flight, and feathers that provide insulation, aerodynamics, and coloration for camouflage or mating display. They also have keen eyesight and hearing to help them locate prey or avoid predators.
What do birds have that no other animals have?
Birds have feathers, which serve multiple functions such as insulation, waterproofing, and aiding in flight. Feathers are a unique feature of birds that help them to maintain body temperature, display colorful patterns during courtship, and enable them to fly.
What is the Body shape of birds?
Owls are a group of predatory birds who are active primarily at night. While there is great variation in coloration, size, feather type and shape and facial structures, there are some commonalities. First, they are all birds, which means they have two hindlimbs adapted to grasping prey and perches, two forelimbs that are wings, are covered in feathers, etc. Owls tend to have broad, thick wings relative to their body size that are densely covered in feathers to allow them to fly silently. They have large eyes on the front of their face with exception night vision.

How do adapted bones and feathers allow a bird the ability to fly?
Adapted bones in birds are lightweight and strong, aiding in flight by reducing overall body weight. Feathers provide lift and propulsion, helping birds generate the necessary lift force and thrust to stay aloft. Together, these adaptations allow birds to fly efficiently and effectively.
Why do birds move in such a jerky manner?
Birds move in a jerky manner because their skeletal structure and muscle arrangement are adapted for flight, which requires quick and precise movements for navigation and hunting.
