(B) The primary excretory product in birds $(Aves)$ is uric acid.Uric acid is relatively insoluble in water and is excreted in the form of a paste or pellet,which helps in water conservation.This mode of excretion is known as uricotelism.Uricotelism is highly advantageous for land vertebrates that lay shelled eggs,as it allows the embryo to store nitrogenous waste within the egg without causing toxicity or requiring large amounts of water.
