Birds belong to a class of warm blooded vertebrate animals with feather covered bodies. Next to the
mammals, birds are the most important group of land-living vertebrates. All birds have feathers, although
in some types, particularly those that can not fly, the normal structure of the feathers may be much
modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The forelimbs of birds are modified into wings. The bony
part of the tail, except in the very earliest fossil birds, is very short, and the visible tail is composed of
feathers only. The teeth are absent except in some fossil forms. As in mammals-the only other group of
warm blooded animal-the circulation is highly perfected so that there is no mixing of arterial and venous
blood, but the arrangement of veins and arteries by which this is accomplished, is different in the two
groups. Birds have keen hearing, although they have no external ears. The sense of sight also is very keen,
but the sense of smell is weak or lacking, except in a small few vultures and other birds.
