A Review of the Particularities of the Respiratory System of Birds:

The respiratory system of birds is the most efficient among vertebrates, due to the adaptive anatomical characteristics of the lungs, a markedly thin tissue barrier, the development of air sacs and a unidirectional air flow that makes it possible to maintain a nearly constant volume. In addition to...
