Describe the derived characteristics in birds that facilitate flight
The special adaptations of birds contribute to two essentials for flight: more power and less weight. Explain how each of the following contributes to one or both of these two essentials: feathers, skeleton, muscle distribution, digestive system, circulatory system, respiratory system, excretory system, reproductive system.
Describe four basic forms of bird wings. How does wing shape correlate with flight speed and maneuverability?
