Everyone has their favorite animals, but if you love the feathered friends, then the Los Angeles Zoo has stuff for you.

What are birds?

Birds are the only vertebrates that have feathers. All birds are warm-blooded, and they lay eggs. Adaptations such as hollow bones enable most birds to fly, although there are flightless birds, including the ostrich.
