Excerpt from The American Bird Fancier; Or How to Breed, Rear, and Care for Song and Domestic Birds: With Their Diseases and Remedies

The structure of birds and their habits of life, are wonder fully adapted to the various functions they are destined to perform. The pointed beak, the long and pliant neck, the gently-swelling shoulder, the expansive wings, the tapering tail, the light and bony feet, are all wisely calculated to assist and accelerate their motion through the yielding air. Every part of their frame is formed for lightness and buoyancy; their bodies are covered with a soft and delicate plumage, so dis posed as to protect them from the intense cold of the atmosphere through which they pass; their wings are made of the lightest materials, and yet, the force with which they strike the air is so great, as to impel their bodies forward with astonishing rapidity, while the tail serves as a rudder to direct them to the different objects of their pursuit.
