Definitely not. Muscles need bones to pull on to flap your arms or wings to enable you to fly. Birds have incredibly strong sternums (the bit in the middle of your rid cage) as this is where the flight muscles attach. Without bones you’d just be a puddle on the floor.

Kirsty is doing an awesome job answering.
Imagine being without bones…there would be no structure hold us together.
Whilst we wouldn’t be able to fly, we’d probably make quite a scary parachute!

sadly not. birds that fly have bones they are just very specialised to be light weight and almost hollow. The inside of a birds bones is a bit like looking at a sponge or an aero chocolate bar all little holes. Things like worms dont have bones but they have a very strong and specialised skin/muscles to give the support that they need instead and sadly they dont fly either 😛 now butterflies they have no bones and they fly
