the bird flew extremely high, so that the majority of the flight was outside the field of view of the camera; (b) flapping flight could not be observed in the flight; (c) the bird did not resume flapping flight after passing through the aperture; or (d) there was an error in the ...

Bird - Feather Evolution, Flight, Adaptation: Feathers are complex and novel evolutionary structures that evolved before birds and avian flight. The evolution of avian flight required decoupling the coordinated movements of the limbs. Major avian diversi

Bird - Anatomy, Flight, Migration: The structures associated with flight distinguish birds from other animals. Feathers are made of keratin; contour feathers are shed and replaced (molted) at least once a year. Color is caused by pigments and structure.
Birds in flight may not perceive objects in the direction of flight because they usually direct their vision downwards or sideways, in search of food, predators or conspecifics16. Complementarily, the binocular vision of birds may not be high resolution, so even if birds direct their vision in...
in Eq. (2), the allometry of specific induced power,bP*, will vary depending on flight behaviour. For example, during hovering, the allometry of load factor is 0, and the allometry of specific induced power varies as a positive function of the allometry of wing velocity. In contrast, ...
