All birds have wings. It's just that some of them are useless for flight. The New Zealand kiwi certainly has wings, though it appears to have none.

Are birds the only type of animals that have wings?
yes. Birds are the only animals on earth that have feathers covering their bodies. They are also a vertebrae animal, which means they have a spine.
What adaptation helps birds fly?
Some energy source is required to overcome the unavoidable drag of pushing through the air, to lift the bird or airplane up to flying height, and to give the bird or airplane kinetic energy. Airplanes use propellers or jet engines. Birds use strong muscles in their breasts to flap their wings. In addition, bird wings are hinged, while airplane wings are riged and fixed. The bird uses its strong muscles to push its wings downwards, pushing air downwards, generating lift, and, if the wings are angled properly, also thrust. The big problem then becomes not pushing air back upwards when the bird moves its wings up for the return stroke. They have no teeth and hollow bones
Why can't newborn birds fly?
Because their wings aren't strong enough
How does airplane designers been influenced by the study of birds?
Airplane designers have been influenced by the study of birds through examining the different qualities of their wings. The strong bones of the birds that are very light help determine the necessary weight restrictions and alloys used in wings. The shape of the wings of birds shows them how to shape airplane wings for maximum lift.
How do birds create lift?
by running and jumping off the ground, also by flapping their wings -Although SOME birds (like the Albatross) have a hard time flapping, THEY HAVE TO WAIT for a strong breeze. Airplanes' wings are thicker at the front of the wing than at the back of the wing. This is in imitation of birds' wings.
What are the functions and characteristics of the chest wings in birds?
The chest wings in birds serve the function of enabling flight and providing stability during flight. They are characterized by being lightweight, strong, and flexible, allowing birds to maneuver and glide efficiently in the air.
Which group has feathers wings and strong but lightweight bones?
Birds have feathers, wings, and strong yet lightweight bones which help them fly. Their unique skeletal structure allows for efficient flight by reducing overall weight while maintaining strength.
Do takahe have wings?

how does birds fly?

Is bald eagle wings made out of hollow?
Most birds have hollow bones. They are still strong, but lighter in weight.
How is moa bird protected?
it is protected since there are they have specials wings called flarimonglous flaps. they are extremply strong wings that protect them for being injured when falling ( moa birds usally clutches ) and since wings are so stong baby moa birds can take a ride on the mamas wings when tryings to escape a pray
