Solution

  1. The flying of a bird is based on action and reaction force which is on Newton's third law.
  2. While flying, the bird pushes the air down with its wings to get an equal and opposite reaction in the upward direction, which helps the bird in going up.
  3. Newton's Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This statement means that in every interaction, there are two forces acting on the interacting objects.
