Like a parachute, a bird’s wings catch air.

usually too small to be seen. Those particles

help a bird fly.

A bird’s wings angle downward in the back.

The bird’s forward movement forces air flowing

under the wing downward.

When a bird flaps

downward, it pushes

more air than if it held

its wings still.

The air moving under the wing creates a

force that pushes the bird upward. Flapping

pushes even more air under the wings.

Birds with long wings can create a lot of lift.

Their wings push a lot of air downward. The

wandering albatross has the longest wingspan.

Its wingspan is up to 11.8 feet (3.6 m) wide. The

bird can travel thousands of miles by soaring.
