What is the primary purpose of a bird's wings?

• To serve as a display for mating

• To enable flight.

• To help with swimming

• To provide insulation

Which bird is known for its ability to hover in place?

• Sparrow

• Hummingbird

• Eagle

• Penguin

What adaptation helps birds to fly at high altitudes?

• Strong leg muscles for powerful takeoff.

• Large wingspan for better lift.

• Efficient respiratory system with air sacs.

• High-fat diet for energy storage.

Name the fastest bird in the world.

• Bald eagle

• Peregrine falcon

• Golden eagle

• Albatross

What is the term for the migration of birds?

• migration

• nesting

• flocking

• roosting

How do birds use their feathers for flight?

• Feathers are used for insulation only.

• Birds use feathers to camouflage from predators.

Which bird is famous for its long migrations between continents?

• Arctic Tern

• Sparrow

• Penguin

What is the role of air sacs in a bird's respiratory system?

• Air sacs enable efficient respiration and continuous airflow through the lungs.

• Air sacs help in regulating body temperature.

• Air sacs store food for the bird.

• Air sacs are used for vocalization during mating.

How do birds navigate during migration?

• Birds follow the same route every year without deviation.

• Birds rely solely on the stars for navigation.

• Birds use only their sense of smell to find their way.

• Birds navigate during migration using environmental cues, magnetic fields, and learned experiences.

What is the difference between soaring and flapping flight?

• Soaring flight uses air currents for lift, whereas flapping flight involves wing movement.

• Soaring flight requires constant wing movement, while flapping flight does not.

• Flapping flight is only used by birds, whereas soaring flight is used by insects.

• Soaring flight is faster than flapping flight due to continuous wing motion.
