Aves
There are two subclasses of birds:
Archaeornithes are, or were, primitive birds from
the Jurassic or early Cretaceous periods.
The Neornithes subclass includes all of the birds
alive today.

Characteristics:Waterproof skin covered in feathers
Endothermic, warm blooded
Hard shelled eggs that are waterproof (cleidoic - closed egg)
Beak or bill rather than teeth
Bipedal (walk on two legs only)
Forelimbs developed into wings
Most members are highly adapted for flight with forelimbs
modified as wings and many weight saving features such as
hollow bones

They can be found worldwide except for Antarctica.
They have special characteristics for life in the water, like
broad bodies easier floating, medium to long necks for
catching food underwater, and shorter legs with webbed
feet for more efficient swimming.
