Birds:
[|Aerodynamics of Animals - Birds] This page looks at the physcial features of birds and how this works to allow them to fly. It covers feathers and their internal structure [including bones & muscles]. The page also covers the mechanics of flight with the importance of the wings, gliding, how birds take off and land, as well as the the variety of flight for different birds.

[|Bird Flight:] This Earthlife Website gives some good information and diagrams about bird wings and how these work to allow birds to fly. When you scroll down you will find information about the shape of wings and what this means for how they fly. If you read the whole section you can find out the difference between eagles and albatrosses.
