Text 3 for questions 9 to 12

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.
