Because the aerodynamics of all bird's wings (except for the ostrich emu penguin and other non flying birds) at a side view looks like a bullet, and the air travels faster and more smoothly than an arm ( is there a single living creature without wings or streched out skin which can fly, if you find one tell me), and if you don't accept that I'll go even more simple, God made it that way.

∙ 14y agoSome birds spread their wings just cuz they feel like it. Like how a human may raise or move their arms for no reason. And other times it's because they're getting ready to take off because something might be approaching them. So they put their wings up just in case.
Oftentimes a bird will lift its' wings during the morning hours just to get some air in between their feathers. At other times they may be making room in their nest for their young to move about.
