Solution
The skeleton of a bird is well-suited for flying because the wings of the birds are attached to their thorax. Also, their light organs like the lungs and the sacs are at a higher position. The position of their heavy muscles lies in the center of their body. Due to the structure of the body of a bird, the air resistance is also reduced. In this way, a bird’s skeleton is well suited for flying.
