Bird Metabolism - The physical and chemical processes that maintain a bird's life are called, collectively, its "metabolism." A flow of energy is required to run the metabolism of any organism, and the basic energy source for all birds is the sun. Green plants "capture" the sun's energy in the process of photosynthesis, and birds then acquire it by eating plants or by eating other animals that eat plants. The energy is used to do the work of building tissues, contracting muscles, manufacturing eggs, processing information in the brain, and powering all the other activities of a living bird.
