Birds are living creatures that can fly, and many of them also sing and chirp.
Imagine you have a toy airplane, it goes up in the air when you push it forward. Now think about a bird: it’s like a living, moving airplane! Birds use their wings to flap up into the sky, just like you would fling your toy airplane forward to make it zoom across the room.
How birds move
Birds have feathers, which are like soft, light blankets that help them float in the air. Their legs and beaks also change depending on what they do, some birds, like chickens, have strong legs for running, while others, like ducks, have webbed feet for swimming.
What birds eat
Some birds are like tiny chefs. They use their beaks to peck at seeds or catch bugs in the air. A bird might be like your friend who loves snacks, it finds its favorite food and eats it right there!
Birds come in many shapes and sizes, but they all have one thing in common: they live in the world we do, and they help make it more lively and fun!
