Their lungs and the haemoglobin in their blood are very efficient and help them get extra oxygen to their muscles. They usually have a lightweight, yet strong, skeleton with hollow bones. Their internal organs are smaller to lighten their body weight. Even with these amazing adaptations, flight is one of the most costly means of transportation and there are other adaptations necessary
