Birds are warm-blooded, which means they can stay warm or cool no matter what the weather is like. They lay eggs with hard shells, and their bodies are covered in feathers. Which help birds fly and stay warm. Birds also have wings, which most of them use to fly. Many birds have light, hollow bones filled with air. This helps them stay light so flying is easier. Instead of teeth, birds have a beak, which they use to eat food, build nests, and protect themselves. Because birds stay warm all the time, they need lots of energy, so they eat a lot of food for their size! Birds eat many different kinds of food. Some birds eat insects or fish, while others eat small animals like mice. Big birds like eagles hunt other animals for food. Some birds are scavengers, which means they eat animals that are already dead.
