Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the classification system in biology: Organisms are classified into hierarchical categories such as domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Recall that birds are warm-blooded vertebrates with feathers, beaks, and the ability to lay hard-shelled eggs. These characteristics distinguish them from other classes.
Learn that birds are classified under the class 'Aves,' which is separate from mammals, amphibians, and reptiles. This classification is based on their unique features such as feathers and flight adaptations.
Note that while birds share some traits with reptiles (e.g., laying eggs and certain skeletal features), they are not classified as reptiles. Instead, they belong to their own distinct class, Aves.
Conclude that the correct classification for birds is the class Aves, which is specifically designated for organisms with the unique characteristics of birds.
