Wing mechanics that might be of clinical relevance for avian practitioners considering the current experimental and theoretical scientific knowledge available on avian flight in conjunction with observations of birds in various wildlife centers are summarized.

Across a wide variety of avian species, the pectoralis muscles average 17% of the bird's body mass, with the supracoracoideus muscles comprising 2-4%; in combination, the two sets of flight muscles represent ∼20% of a bird's body mass! By comparison, the pectoralis muscles of humans represent ∼0.5% of body mass.

To introduce the biomechanics of bird flight, I will first summarize current understanding about the functional morphology of the avian wing with implications for P mus.Then, I will evaluate how P aero varies with flight speed and explore some of the wingbeat kinematics, flight modes and styles that covary with P aero.Other variables besides work and power are of great importance to the

Research into the biomechanics of avian flight, to some extent, moved away from an ecomorphological and comparative to a phylogenetic emphasis during the past 20 years, in part because of excitement (and funding opportunities) linked to the bioinspired design of autonomous flying robots [21,22].

The aerodynamics of bird flight are complex, particularly when the wings are dynamically changing shape and when flapping velocities exceed the forward velocity of the bird. In this primer, Bret W. Tobalske explores how wing function varies with flight speed, the formation of tip and root vortices that are useful to researchers but represent a constraint on span efficiency, and tail function

The wings are the most important part of the flight apparatus of a bird and consist of feathers, bones, muscles, nerves, and patagial skin flaps. The complex kinematics of wing beats and the perfect control of aerodynamics make avian flight possible. An impaired flight can be viewed as an avian lameness; therefore, a better understanding of avian locomotion can help to diagnose and to evaluate

Bird flight is a remarkable adaptation that has allowed the approximately 10 000 extant species to colonize all terrestrial habitats on earth including high elevations, polar regions, distant islands, arid deserts, and many others. Birds exhibit numerous physiological and biomechanical adaptations for flight. Although bird flight is often studied at the level of aerodynamics, morphology

A major goal of flight research has been to establish the relationship between the mechanical power requirements of flight and flight speed. This relationship is central to our understanding of the ecology and evolution of bird flight behaviour. Current approaches to determining flight power have relied on a variety of indirect measurements and
