Instead of mouths like we have, birds have beaks. They are hard and pointy.
Birds use them for eating, fighting, grooming, and singing.
Beaks are also used to build nests, since birds do not have hands.
Like us, birds can look very different if they are a child or an adult.
All birds have feathers. Feathers are what makes up the bird's wings and fluffy body.
You may know that birds use their wings to fly, but they also have other uses. Can you name some?(click here to reveal)
Birds also use their wings and feathers to attract female birds and to scare off predators!
