  • Card 16 / 60:
    Describe three adaptations that allow for flight in birds.

    Birds have feathers that streamline the bird body and assist in flight. They also have pneumatic bones that are hollow rather than tissue-filled. Birds are endothermic, which allows for a higher metabolism demanded by flight.
