Birds are a diverse group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves. They are characterized by feathers, a beak without teeth, and a high metabolic rate. Birds also have a four-chambered heart and a lightweight but strong skeletal structure. They are known for their ability to fly, although some species are flightless. Birds lay hard-shelled eggs and exhibit a wide range of reproductive strategies and parental care behaviors.Birds inhabit various ecosystems across the globe, from the Arctic to the Antarctic. They play crucial roles in ecosystems as pollinators, seed dispersers, and predators of insects and small animals. There are over 10,000 species of birds, ranging in size from the tiny hummingbird to the large ostrich.Adaptations such as keen vision, diverse beak shapes, and specialized feet allow birds to exploit different ecological niches. Many species migrate vast distances seasonally. Birds have significant cultural and economic importance to humans, featuring prominently in art, mythology, and as sources of food and companionship. Conservation efforts are essential for protecting bird populations, many of which are threatened by habitat loss, climate change, and other human activities.
