Let thing of a bird standing still in a box on top of a weighing machine that shows a mass m0. Now, imagine that the bird is flying, still in the same box and the same weighing machine shows a mass m1. As the bird when flying, is applying a force towards the weighing machine, could we deduce that m0=m1? I'm asking this question because saying that these masses are equal makes me as uncomfortable as saying that they are not equal and can't figure the right answer. So does m0=m1 and why?
