Its body is light but strong, Itisboat-shaped | at the same spot, and are the only and so it is able to float in the air easily. bios ta a eee A bird has wings in the place of arms. These wings have feathers which help it to fly. Feathers that cover the body and keep it warm are called down feathers. Strong muscles that attach the wings to the breast bone are called flight muscles. The feathers attached to the wings and tail-bone help the bird to fly. These feathers are called the flight feathers. The tail of a bird acts like the rudder of a boat. The tail feathers are used for steering, slowing down and changing the direction. When the bird flaps its wings, the air under the wings pushes the bird up. When it reaches high in the air, it does not need to flap its wings any more. Bird flight consists of two main movements ~ upstroke and downstroke. Some birds like pigeon and crow fly long distances. Birds like hen fly only short distances. They usually walk. Some birds like eagle, vulture and kite fly at great heights. They have sharp eyes to locate their prey on the ground. Some birds live in water. They have oil glands which keep their feathers waterproof, They have webbed feet to swim in the water. Ducks, swans, gulls, pelicans and cranes are some examples of water birds.
