There are about ten thousand living types, more than fifty percent of which will be passerine, or "perching" birds. Birds have wings whose advancement varies according to species; the sole known groups with out wings would be the extinct moa and hippo birds. Wings, which often evolved from forelimbs, gave birds the opportunity to fly, although more evolution has led to the losing of airline flight in some chickens, including ratites, penguins, and diverse native to the island island species. The particular digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also distinctively adapted for air travel. Some bird types of aquatic surroundings, particularly seabirds and even some waterbirds, have further evolved with regard to swimming.
