More than 9 thousand species of birds live on our planet, most of which are flying. The bones of flying individuals are hollow and thin, which significantly reduces the mass of the skeleton. Lightweight feathers create a wide and durable surface, which during flight forms the necessary lifting force. Some feathers act as a rudder, others are responsible for protecting the body from hypothermia and damage.
