Question

Give a list of aerial adaptations shown by birds
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Birds have evolved not only wings, but many other adaptations that make it possible to fly. First of all, feathers. Feathers provide insulation, waterproofing, and a means to fly — and they're extraordinarily lightweight. Other features also help minimize the pull of gravity, mostly by reducing body weight.

Answer 2

Answer:

They have following functions: i) Reduce friction ii) Reduce weight iii) Wing feathers are used for striking the air Page 3 iv) Tail feathers are used for lifting up and steering. v) Body feathers form a blanket. The blanket holds a certain amount of air between the body and the feather- covering.
