Answer 2

Answer:

Profile drag dominates at high speeds. The tail allows birds to have the wings needed for efficient cruising and high speed flight (when the tail can be furled giving little drag), at the same time the tail can be spread at low speeds or during turns to reduce induced drag.

Explanation:
