Understand that a streamlined body shape achieves a greater speed. A streamlined body shape is one that is narrow at both ends, and broad in the middle. This shape enables the animals to fly faster. Streamlined body shape Just like there is water resistance, there is a force called air resistance that opposes motion in air. When a bird is flying, its streamlined body shape helps to reduce air resistance

How ae bird bones different from those other animals?
Tobi says: Bird's bones are hollow to help them fly,obviously to reduce weight when they fly. Human bones, on the other hand, are not hollow. We need strong bones to do the things we do, eg: walking, skipping, jumping etc...
Why does a bird have compact bones?
In order for the bird to be as light as possible for flight. This "hollowness" reduces their body weight by about 5%, depending on what kind of bird it is, in contrast to their would-be weight if their bones were not hollow.
Are birds bones weak?
No, birds' bones are not necessarily weak. In fact, bird bones are often designed to be hollow or semi-hollow, which makes them lightweight yet strong enough to support flight. This adaptation allows birds to be agile and fly efficiently.
Do puffins have hollow bones?
Penguins do not have skeletons that are identical to humans certain things are different such as bone length and the presence of a tail in the penguin. But certain structures are referred to as homologous. example: the flipper in the penguin and the arm and hand of a human have the same bone structure just different bone lengths.
Which part of the body does a bird use most for movement?
A bird primarily uses its wings for movement, allowing it to fly, glide, and maneuver through the air. The wings provide lift and propulsion, enabling the bird to travel long distances and access various habitats.
What makes a birds bone are very light?
Bird bones are light because they are hollow.

What weighs more bird feathers or bird bones?
Bird bones because feathers are very light and the bones just depend on the type of bird.
Do the feathers of a pigeon weigh less than the bones of a pigeon?
yes, for many flying birds, including the pigeon, the bones are filled with air sacks and hollow and are actually lighter than the feathers that cover the body ... other example is the humming bird.
How does body shape and structure help insects fly?
They have hollow and very light bones, plus the lift from thier wings then they are beating both together give the bird the ability to fly
How heavy are bird bones?
Most bird bones are very light, because extra weight would make it impossible to fly.
How do birds bones enable then to fly?
The bones in a bird are hollow, making the bird lighter, allowing flight. However, this also has a downside: bird's bones are very easily broken, and once they are broken they often do not mend properly, meaning that if a bird breaks its wing, it will often never fly again.
Are birds bones weak?

How does hollow bones help birds fly?
Bird bones are hollow and very thin or at least most of them are. Some are air filled and others have trusses or cross walls to make them strong. They also have fewer bones than mammals or reptiles of similar size. The skeleton is more rigid. These are factors which help a bird to manage flight.
How strong bird bones are?
Yes very !
How can a bird fly?
It uses its curved wings. The whole of a bird's body structure makes it very light. It also loses its weight by pooing almost everytime. So it will be lighter and is able to fly more easily. Some birds' body structures are already too big and they cannot fly. Well the reason birds CAN fly is because they have hollow bones. There hollow bones makes them lighter. They also have a KEEL bone which is used to keep the bird upright so they don't fall over during flight. and pooing doesnt make any difference with the birds weight!!
