    Birds are warm-blooded animals with feathers that lay hard-shelled eggs. They have two feet and two wings, lightweight bones, and a beak without teeth. Birds are classified into five main groups based on their beaks and feet: birds of prey have sharp claws and beaks; perching birds have curved toes and small beaks; non-perching birds have long clinging toes; swimming birds have webbed feet; and wading birds have long legs and sharp beaks.
