Birds

What is a Bird?

Birds have different types of feathers, lay eggs, have clawed feet and are even warm blooded. All birds have strong wings but only some can fly. For example a penguin, it has wings but cannot fly at all. This is because its wings are too small. Birds also have two legs and clawed toes. They all lay eggs in nests that they build and their eggs come in different sizes and sometimes in different colours. Some birds can sing. They usually sing in dawn. Birds have beaks to help them eat. They eat worms and some even eat meat like fish. Some birds live in the sea and some even are kept as pets. They are harmless and do not have any teeth. Some birds do not get wet when they swim in water. This is because their wings and feathers have a special kind of oil that keeps them dry. Some birds even have webbed feet to help them swim.
