Not really. Angels and demons are spirit creatures, without human form. They have no real need of wings, feet or claws. In taking visible form that humans can see, they appear to have wings so the people could see they were different.
Demons having claws and horns, as for your other question, that is purely something they would like us to believe so they appear to not exist. They were once angels who sided with Satan. That did not change what substance they were anymore than the difference between followers of WWII Allied forces and Hitler. Both sides remain human.

At least two types of angelic beings have wings. Seraphim and Cherubim (Isaiah 6:2-6, Ezekiel 1:5-8). Several angels are described as flying (Daniel 9:21, Luke 1:19)
They do not marry or have children (Matthew 22:28-30) and have personal names like Michael or Gabriel. They also have some limitations they cannot "do anything" (Daniel 10:10-14) and can only be in one place at one time. They walk, talk and eat (Genesis 18:1-9) but they excel in strength (2nd Peter 2:11) and can judge things (Genesis 19:1-11). They can also influence nature (Revelation 9:14-15).
The name angel is derived from the Greek word angelos meaning "messenger". They are not "angels" in truth, that is not their species name.Cherubim are the highest class of angels and attend to the glory, holiness and majesty of God (Ezekiel 1:5-14), Seraphim are "burning ones" ablaze with the glory of God, and interestingly they refer to God as "holy holy holy", which begs to question why you would worship God in a triune way? (Isaiah 6:3). "Living beings" are nother type of angels who worship God and express His judgment (Revelation 4:14).
Angels worship God (Revelation 4:6-11), serve God (Hebrews 1:7, 14), destroy evil (Genesis 19:1-13), protect God's people (Daniel 6:20-21), and deliver God's word (Revelation 2:1)
Angels are typically described as male (Mark 16:5, Luke 24:4) but two female angels appear in Zechariah 5:9.
Angels are mentioned over 300 times in the Bible.
They are immortal, but not divine. They are mere messengers of God, but we are actual children of God and in heaven we would be above the angels. We do not "die and become angels" as a lot of people wish.
Also these angels must appear very freaky by the way people are scared when they see them. The angels usually greet people by saying, "Do not be afraid" so these guys must look really wild.

Only if by "angels" you mean birds. Then yes.

I don't think so... they're not physical, like birds, so I don't see why they would need wings. They're spiritual beings.
