Birds are able to fly due to their bodies being well-suited to the task. They have hollow, light bones. Walking and perching use the bones of the rear limbs. Wings are made from the bony portions of the forelimbs.
- The bones of the shoulders are sturdy. The breast bones have been altered to accommodate flying muscles, which are used to raise and lower the wings.
- The backbone of the bird is welded together to give the stiffness needed for flying.
- Birds have smaller skulls than other animals, which makes it easier for them to fly.
- Birds' skeletons are made up of hollow bones with crisscrossing reinforcements for structural stability.
