How are kites similar to birds?

Both kites and birds can fly. Although kites require wind to fly, their flight is similar to that of birds in that they can glide through the air.

Both kites and birds have wings. Kites have fabric or paper wings, while birds have feathers. Both types of wings are designed to catch the wind and create lift.

Both kites and birds can turn and change direction. Kites can be turned by pulling on the string, while birds can turn by flapping their wings or using the air currents to change direction.

Both kites and birds can float in the air. Kites can float in the air when there is enough wind, while birds can float in the air by using the air currents.
