When the bird flies, it moves its wings say A and B towards O which is air. The vectors formed are AO and BO. As we know action and reaction are equal and opposite so the air strikes back too in opposite direction so the vectors are OA and OB. The result of which is upward flying of a bird.

Answer:
yes
Explanation:Yes, the flight of a bird is an example of composition of vectors. As the bird flies, it strikes the air with its wings, W side WO. According to Newton's third law of motion, air strikes the wings in opposite directions. The reactions are OA and OB. From law of parallelogram vectors, 0C is the resultant of 0A and OB. This resultant upwards force 0C is responsible for the flight of the bird.
