The tiziu is an example of a bird that is also considered a bird.

Birds are a group of animals whose primary characteristic is the presence of feathers, structures related to various functions, including thermal insulation, mate attraction, camouflage and flight. In addition, they stand out for being endothermic animals, having a beak, complete digestive system, pulmonary respiration, closed circulatory system and a heart with four cavities.
