Flight time outside the cage in a safe, supervised area. .
1. Wings and Feathers Wings generate lift and thrust. Feathers reduce air resistance and help with steering. 2. Lightweight Skeleton Hollow bones make birds light, aiding flight. 3. Strong Muscles Powerful breast muscles (pectorals) allow flapping for takeoff and sustained flight 4. Aerodynamic Body Streamlined shape reduces drag and allows smooth flight. Exceptions Not all birds can fly. Examples of flightless birds: Ostriches Emus Kiwis Penguins (they “fly” underwater!)
