Bird flight is one of the most complex forms of locomotion in the animal kingdom. Each
facet of this type of motion, including hovering, taking off, and landing, involves many
complex movements. As different bird species adapted over millions of years
through evolution for specific environments, prey, predators, and other needs, they
developed specializations in their wings, and acquired different forms of flight.

a. Give two adaptive features that help the bird to fly. 2

b. Explain the two stages involved while flapping their wings? 2
