BIRD refers to any warm-blooded vertebrate of the class Aves, characterized by feathers, wings, beaks, and typically the ability to fly. From tiny hummingbirds to mighty eagles, birds are found on every continent and in virtually every habitat on Earth.
BIRD has an unusual etymology. In Old English, the word was "brid" meaning "young bird" or "chick." The modern spelling with the R and I reversed (metathesis) became standard around the 15th century. The general word for bird in Old English was "fugol" (related to "fowl").
