The way they lived - their surroundings. e.g., reptiles that needed to fly to catch their prey needed wings and so slowly evolution created what we know as birds and then the birs evolved to different varietys of birds depending on how they live e.g the whole needed binocular vision to cath its prey and so that's why owls have the shape of the head and eyes that they have.

Why is a bird not a mammal?

Birds are not considered mammals because they do not feed their young milk and because they have feathers instead of fur. Birds lay eggs while most mammals give live birth. Birds are also distinguished by having beaks and a rather intricate and unique respiratory system. In terms of evolution, birds are more closely related to modern reptiles than they are to mammals.

Why birds fly and duck swim?

Ducks are birds, and actually they can fly quite well. However, I believe your question is why can ducks swim when most other birds can't. The reason for this is evolution - ducks and other waterfowl like swans and loons have evolved into a niche that involves them eating directly from the water. Part of this evolution involved developing oil glands or preen glands on the base of their tails; waterfowl like ducks preen themselves constantly to spread this oil on their feathers to keep themselves waterproof so they can float on the water. Most non-waterfowl birds fly because they have evolved into a niche that involves them eating or hunting on the wing. However, I will note that not all birds can fly - penguins, ostriches, emus, rheas and kiwis all can't fly, but they are birds.

Why do mutations that occur in the skin or nervous system tend to have little effect on the evolution of a species?

Most mutations that occur have a neutral effect, or none at all, so they would not affect evolution. Organisms with mutations that cause detrimental impact typically will not survive; therefore, they will not reproduce, and the mutation will not be passed on, so the species will not be affected overall. Beneficial mutations are typically the only mutations that will affect an organism's posterity and the evolution of its species, but good mutations are very rare. This is why most mutations have little effect on the evolution of a species.
