Birds are vertebrates (animals with backbones) with wings and feathers. Most birds can fly, using powerful
muscles to flap their wings. But a few bird species do not have strong enough wings to fly, and so these
birds are flightless. Birds’ bodies are covered with a light, tough layer of feathers and they have very
light skeletons. Instead of teeth, they have hornlike beaks, or bills. Birds hatch from eggs, and many
species build nests where their eggs and young can develop in safety.Birds are the winged and feathered
friends that form an important part of our ecosystem. Birds bring a variety to the animal world. They are
the only creatures that can fly apart from bats. There are so many different types of birds, some that
can’t even fly. Birds bring a kind of beautiful addition to the scene.Birds like peacocks, kingfisher,
Flamingos come with such beautiful colours that it’s a delight to spot them.
People like to keep birds as pets. More popular as pets are the parrots who imitate human sounds
and also finches and other little pretty looking birds. The sounds that birds make are some of the most
beautiful sound in nature. A peacock calling out, a cuckoo singing, a woodpecker pecking away at a tree
is some delights that everyone is eager to partake. Then there is the crowing of a cockerel that ushers
in the morning on a farm. Birds are an indispensable part of animal kingdom and must be nurtured.Due to
hunting, poaching and disruption of the ecological balance, many birds are getting extinct. As a result,
birds living in water like swans, ducks and more are also falling drastically in number because of
pollution. Thus, we all must take proper measures to help the birds live and save them from extinction.
Birds are vital for our ecosystem and its balance, thus we must all keep them safe.
