八、阅读下面短文，根据短文内容补全文后表格
The main characteristic (特征) of a bird is feathers. No other animal has feathers. Other important features for birds are wings and hollow bones (中空的骨头).
Birds fly by flapping their wings and using air pressure (压力) to create lift under their wings, just as planes do. The peregrine falcon (游隼) is one of the fastest birds. It can reach a speed of over 100 miles per hour when diving. Feathers are important to birds because they keep them warm, help them to fly, and provide camouflage (伪装). Hollow bones also help in flying because they help make the bird light enough to fly.
Although an important characteristic of birds is flying, not all birds fly. Some birds that don't fly are penguins, kiwis and ostriches. Penguins actually spend much time in the water where they are good swimmers. Ostriches are very fast runners. An ostrich can run faster than a horse!
There are all sizes of birds. Hummingbirds are some of the smallest birds, while ostriches are some of the biggest. Different types of birds eat different things. Some birds feed on plants, some birds eat insects and others eat other animals like fish, snakes or mice. Birds are also known for their migrating patterns in large groups. Some birds will travel far each season to find places with the right weather for them. A bird is sometimes kept as a pet. The most popular birds for pets are tropical (热带的) birds like parrots. Birds also have a history of helping humans with different tasks. They can carry messages and help hunt.
