Birds have different kinds of wings according to the type of their habitat and how they adapt to it.
I am a robin, this is a crow, our wings are elliptical.
Elliptical wings are good for short bursts of high speed. They allow fast take offs.
High-speed wings are found in birds that migrate,The bones are thin and long, and the wings taper to a point to allow for high flight speed with low drag, and low energy consumption during flight.
I am a duck, this is a falcon, our wings are high-speed wings.
I am a vulture, this is an eagle, our wings are broad soaring wings.
Broad wings which provide high lift and soaring are found on vultures, condors, hawks, ospreys, pelicans and eagles. These wings are broad and only relatively long, allowing for takeoff and landing in fairly confined areas, high lift, low speed soaring, and slow descents.
Birds are such fascinating creatures to learn about. From the way they have evolved and adapted to their environments, to their mating and migratory habits there is so much to learn.
