Everything in these birds is designed for soaring at high altitudes and quick swooping down. The body weight is minimized by hollow bones and feathers, and beak and talons made of keratin. The skeleton is only 5% of the bird’s weight. The wingspan of these creatures is very wide, up to 8 feet. Long feathers on the tips of the wings are widely separated, reducing turbulence. The wings and tail are very strong to fulfill difficult maneuvers during the flight. These birds can conserve energy when soaring and don’t need much food.
