What are Birds?Birds are warm-blooded animals with feathers, hard-shelled eggs and lightweight bones. Because they are warm-blooded, birds can maintain a constant internal body
temperature and be active when their natural environment has extremes of very warm or very cold conditions.
Feathersareusedforflight,protectionandattractionofamate.Theyalsoaidin
controlling body temperature and in helping birds to identify other birds. Birdslayhard-shelledeggs.Thehardshell,mademostlyofcalcium carbonate, keeps
the egg from drying out and allows parents to sit on the eggs during incubation.
Lightweightbonesarenecessaryforflight.Birdbonesarestrongandhaveinternalbraces.Manybirdbonesarefilledwithairandareconnectedtotherespiratorysystem.Other bones are fused together, increasing their strength.

Bird Banter•Birdshaveahighmetabolic rate and must eat great quantities of food. For example, hum-
mingbirds must eat twice their weight in food daily. Most birds must continually search for food.
•Birdsdon’thaveteeth.Theyusethethickwallsoftheirgizzard to break food into smaller pieces. Small stones and grit picked up while feeding remain in the gizzard and help to grind food, too.
•Beaks,orbills,areamazingtools.Theyareusedforcapturingandeatingfood,defense,feeding young, gathering nesting materials, building nests, preening, scratching, courting and attacking.
