Answer:
Yes,
the flight of a bird is an example of composition of vectors as is clear from
the Rg.2(c).56. As the bird flies, it strikes the air with its wings W, W along
WO. According to Newton's third Law of motion air strikes the wings in opposite
directions with the same force in reaction. These reactions are represented in
Fig. 2(c).56 along \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{OA}}\,\] and \[\overset{\to
}{\mathop{OB}}\,\]. According to parallelogram law of vectors, the resultant
of \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{OA}}\,\] and \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{OB}}\,\] is \[\overset{\to
}{\mathop{OC}}\,\] .
It
is this resultant upward force \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{OC}}\,\] which is
responsible for the flight of the bird.
