Birds use their strong breast muscles to flap their wings and give them the thrust to move through out the air and fly. In a way, birds use a swimming motion to get the lift needed to fly.

The bodies of birds are very light which help them to fly easily. This is because the bones of birds are thin, light and hollow. The shape of a bird's body is like an aeroplane. It is narrow in the front and broad in the middle. This shape helps the bird to fly. In order to turn while flying, the bird uses its tail. Finally to stop, the bird spreads out its wings and stretches its feet to create a drag, which helps it to stop.

How does a bird fly through the air? That is a tremendously important question! Ever since there were people, people have watched birds fly and wondered how they did it, wondering also if they too could fly. HooplaKidzTv explains how do birds fly?

It helps explain how birds fly A bird uses its legs to push off the ground into the air. That's called thrust. It flaps its wings to stay in the air.

I learned mechanics of bird flight, with emphasis on the varied forms of bird's wings.

Birds use their feathers,their power,and the structure of their wings to fly, there weight plays a big part on there flight that is why turkeys and chickens can not sustain flight.

The general mechanism of flight in birds which includes Bernoulli's principle and aerodynamic properties of wings.

They basically have a biomechanical check valve. They thrust down and when they're wings come back, they open up for air to flow through. They even look like at times like the wings are breaking in half between the primary and secondary feathers and diverts the flow downwards. So when they thrust down and the low pressure lifts them up at the same time.

How Do Birds Fly?

If you tried the paper activity from the front of this article, you might have been surprised by what happened. In most cases a person would think the paper would go down and not lift up when they blow air across the top.

It may not be what you would expect, but it is what birds and planes do to lift off the ground and fly. Blowing faster-moving air above the sheet paper lowered the air pressure above the paper. Now the air pressure below the paper is higher and creates lift. Lift does exactly what it sounds like; it lifts objects off the ground when everything is just right.

How Do You Make Air Move Faster?

We blew air over the top of the sheet of paper to create the lower pressure. You cannot do that for birds and planes. Instead, the wing of both birds and planes are shaped so that air passing over the top has to travel a longer distance and so it has to speed up as it goes over the top of the wing. This creates the difference in pressure above and below the wing.

How Do You Get the Air to Move Over a Wing?

Getting the air to move over and under the wing also requires the wing to be moving. This is called thrust. Thrust is created when birds flap their wings using their strong breast muscles. Planes use another method for thrust. They use engines. These can be either propeller or jet engines. With both birds and planes, thrust is the other part of creating lift and the ability to fly. So the shape of the wing and the ability to move it through the air are the two things needed for bird and plane flight.

Birds use their strong breast muscles to flap their wings and give them the thrust to move through the air and fly. In a way, birds use a swimming motion to get the lift needed to fly. Plane wings have a similar shape as bird wings, but instead of flapping their wings, we use engines to thrust them into the air and create the lift needed to fly.

This bird flight video was created through a collaboration with Canadian Museum of Nature. They have other great interactive animations, but they do require Flash.

If you would like to learn more about the physics behind air speed, pressure, and lift, try searching with these key words "Bernoulli's, principle." Named after the Swiss mathematician Daniel Bernoulli.

One of the requirements for heavier-than-air flying machines is a structure that combines strength with light weight. This is true for birds as well as planes. Birds have many physical features, besides wings, that work together to enable them to fly. They need lightweight, streamlined, rigid structures for flight. The four forces of flight –weight, lift, drag and thrust – affect the flight of birds.
