Wings Made for the Sky
Birds can fly because their bodies are built for it. They have strong wings, lightweight bones, and powerful chest muscles that help them flap and glide through the air. Their feathers are shaped in a way that lets air flow smoothly, giving them lift, kind of like how a paper airplane glides when you throw it just right.
Not Just for Fun
Flying helps birds travel, find food, escape danger, and even move to warmer places when it gets cold. Some birds can soar high in the sky, while others zoom fast or hover in place. Each bird uses flight in its special way, making flying one of the coolest superpowers in the animal kingdom.

Q: How do baby birds learn to fly?
