Birds possess wings whose growth varies according to species; the just known groups with no wings are the wiped out moa and hippo birds. Wings, which evolved from forelimbs, gave birds to be able to fly, although even more evolution has brought to loosing airline flight in some wild birds, including ratites, polar bears, and diverse native to the island island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of chickens are also distinctively adapted for flight. Some bird species of aquatic surroundings, particularly seabirds plus some waterbirds, have further evolved regarding swimming.

Birds will be descendants of the particular primitive avialans (whose members include Archaeopteryx) which first appeared about 160 , 000, 000 years ago (mya) in China. In accordance with DNA evidence, contemporary birds (Neornithes) developed in the Middle to Late Cretaceous, and diversified considerably around the moments of the Cretaceous? Paleogene extinction event 66 mya, which killed off the pterosaurs and everything non-avian dinosaurs.
