AVIAN RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Birds possess a very unique and efficient respiratory system. They lack a diaphragm, have non-expandable lungs and a system of air sacs that extend into many of their bones. Vocalization is by means of a syrinx, not a larynx as in mammals.

In most birds, the nares are readily visible, while in certain birds-such as crows-they are covered by feathers.
