Birds Encyclopedia & Field Guide

Birds are feathered, winged, bipedal, endothermic vertebrates representing the sole surviving lineage of theropod dinosaurs. Equipped with lightweight pneumatic (hollow) skeletal systems, high-efficiency flow-through respiratory air sacs, and exceptionally acute stereoscopic eyesight, birds inhabit every global ecosystem from polar ice sheets to oceanic thermal currents.
