I wonder but have flight feathers and muscles in their wings which are light and strong a bird uses these features to help it lift off the ground and they begin flying by flapping their wings a bird’s body is very streamlined which helps reduce the force of drag. This means it has little resistance to air a bird uses its tail to control the direction and which it flies by twisting its tail. It determines what direction it will go. There are three types of flying techniques, which are bird uses when flying flapping is the up and down motion a bird makes with its wings which move the bird up against the force of gravity and propels it forward when the bird pushes its wings down.
It creates lift, which is the upward Force pushing the bird up into the air gliding is another flying technique used and it When a bird just holds its wings out and does not flap when a bird is gliding. It doesn’t have to do any work. The bird’s wings push air downward which causes lift force and holds the bird up in the air. The final type of flying technique is soaring soaring a similar to gliding. However, it uses Rising currents of warm air called thermals, which keep the bird up a bird’s light frame and bones and its ability to create enough lift to overcome. The force of gravity is how a bird can fly humans cannot fly because we do not possess these qualities and we don’t have wings.
