Lipids , aka fats , would be the best storage options .
Lipids are the best choice bcz. they contain the most amount of energy per the space they take up .
Carbohydrates would be second to fat as they are high in energy as well..

The organic molecule that is used to store energy is lipids.

EXPLANATION:

Many birds store a large amount of energy for their flight when migrating. The organic molecule that is used to store energy is lipids. This is because lipids have many hydrocarbon bonds.

The hydrocarbon bonds of the lipids can later be broken down to release energy that the birds require to fly when migrating. In addition, these bonds can be easily broken providing instant energy that allows the birds to fly.
