A Correct answer
Explanation

Birds are warm-blooded (endothermic) animals, not cold-blooded. All other options listed ARE characteristic features of birds: pneumatic (hollow) bones reduce weight for flight, lungs with air sacs provide efficient respiration, and presence of amnion during embryonic development. Therefore, cold-bloodedness is NOT a feature of birds.
