Yes - Birds have Lungs - Due to their high metabolic rate required for flight, birds have a high oxygen demand.

These sacs do not play a direct role in gas exchange, but to store air and act like bellows, allowing the lungs to maintain a fixed volume with fresh air constantly flowing through them.[1]
