Birds

Birds (class Aves) are a group of endothermic vertebrates, characterized by feathers, a beak with no teeth, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a lightweight but strong skeleton. Birds play prominent and diverse roles in folklore, religion, and art. Books about birds include fiction (particularly children's fiction) and non-fiction (such as guides for birdwatchers). ...more
