Bird Flight Mechanics and Anatomy

The video explains how birds fly by using their wings, which are equipped with feathers and strong muscles. Birds have light bodies with thin, hollow bones, and their body shape resembles an airplane, aiding in flight. To maneuver, birds use their tails, and to stop, they spread their wings and stretch their feet to create drag.
