Birds

 

Birds are considered a transcendence of  the soul, spirits, divine manifestations, spirits of the air, ascendants to heavens and are said to have the ability to communicate with the gods.  To many nations and cultures, birds are perceived as divine.    There are many types of birds all over the world and every person has at least on bird that is true to heart. For many gardeners it is the humming bird just delicately fluttering from flower to flower, for others it may be that favorite pet canary or an African gray parrot. 

Birds are renowned for their beauty and the fact that they can fly.

Birds are warm-blooded vertebrate animals that have wings, feathers, a beak  no teeth, strong, hollow bones, a skeleton in which many bones are fused together or are absent, powerful flight muscles, and an extremely efficient, one-way breathing system.

Most birds can fly. Birds have a very strong heart and an efficient way of breathing - these are necessary for birds to fly. Birds also use a lot of energy while flying and need to eat a lot of food to power their flight.

Not all flying animals are birds; and not all birds can fly. The ability to fly has developed independently many times throughout the history of the Earth. Bats (flying mammals), pterosaurs (flying reptiles from the time of the dinosaurs), and flying insects are not birds.
