Description
Birds, members of the class Aves, comprise more than 10,400 species of living birds - more than half of which are songbirds or "perching birds". Their coat sets them apart from all other classes of animals; There are no other animals on earth.
Beautiful to look at and interesting to look at, there are many different species of birds that people often keep as pets and become the subject of stories or photographs. Bird watchers number in their millions, while feeding birds is a multi-million dollar industry made possible by people's love for our feathered friends.
