Best Answer

Modern birds have feathers and a beak with no teeth; lay eggs with hard shells; have a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a lightweight but strong skeleton. All birds have forelimbs modified as wings and most can fly.

In terms of animal classifications, birds and fish are separate from one another. Birds and bony fish, however, can be classified as vertebrates because they both have vertebral columns.
