Birds such as ducks, geese, and swans have greater densities than water, yet they are able to sit on its surface. Explain this ability, noting that water does not wet their feathers and that they cannot sit on soapy water.
Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals.
