Question

How is the skeleton of a bird well-suited for flying?

Answer 1

The features that help in the locomotion of a bird are:

• Feathers and hollow bones: The bones are hollow with air spaces in between which makes the body of the birds light to be able to fly.
• Forelimbs: They are modified into wings that help them to fly.
• Breastbone: It holds the muscles of flight.
• Hindlimbs: They help to walk and perch.
