| | Flight |
| | One theory is that in coordinated flight flocks such as those of waterfowl, there's an aerodynamic advantage to flying behind and to the side of another bird to take advantage of its wingtip vortices. | | | A good deal of misinformation has been uttered about the speed of bird's flight. | | | Flight speed is dependent upon the bird, the weather, the wind, etc. In general, the flight speed of small passerines varies from 15 to 50 mph. |

| | ScienceDaily: Small Robotic Devices Fly Like Birds |
| | Early versions of the robotic birds were made of balsa wood and powered by rubber band engines that made the wings flap, and the first successful flight was outside Spencer Laboratory. | | | That robotic bird spent two minutes in flight but lacked a means for remote control. | | | He said he hopes to further miniaturize the birds to the point that they are small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, while at the same time working to integrate controls to guide flight. |

| | Bird (1988) |
| | With the aid of cinematographer Jack N. Green, Eastwood captures the neon burnished lights and darks of the night world Parker inhabited, and the music, featuring genuine Parker solos augmented by modern musicians, can't be faulted, but despite its merits, this "Bird" never takes flight. | | | Clint Eastwood's reputation as a serious filmmaker was given a considerable boost with this lengthy biography of jazz legend, Charlie "Yardbird" Parker, who Eastwood, a jazz aficionado, saw perform in Oakland, California in 1946. | | | Goofs: Anachronisms: When Charlie Parker goes to Dizzy Gillespie's house in the middle of the night and asks Dizzy to write down a tune, the year is 1953. |

| | Haruki Murakami - Book Reviews |
| | Watanabe is 37 years old when he hears a version of the Beatle's track Norwegian Wood after a long flight. | | | The book has in fact very little to do with Norway or Norwegian woods but more to do with a song by the Beatles which lends it™s name to the novel, NORWEGIAN WOOD (THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN). | | | In Norwegian Wood, Murakami warns us that falling into the arms of a longtime friend is not something you can clearly define as the awakening of a long-dormant passion or the vicarious revisit of lost innocence. |

| | Large Black Birds - - Desert Awareness Article |
| | They are also classed as songbirds, making the raven the largest songbird as well as the largest all-black bird in the world. | | | They look a lot like the crows I remember from my Iowa childhood, but the Audubon Societys Birds of Phoenix and Maricopa County says the crow is a rare transient here, and these large black birds fit the description of the common raven very well. | | | At a distance a small raven can be confused with a large crow, but when they are together the raven is visibly heavier and is distinguished by a larger, stouter bill, shaggy throat feathers, and a wedge-shaped rather than a squared-off tail, noticeable mainly in flight. |

| | The Strange Warbler at The Lhen 15 |
| | Fortunately, from the photo, I could clearly make out the length of the primary projection (the amount by which a birdÂs primary flight feathers extend beyond the secondaries on the closed wing) and they were just too long for Paddyfield Warbler. | | | Of this family, there is only Sedge Warbler that is regular here on the Isle of Man. But this bird was obviously not a Sedge Warbler, due to its very plain mantle and wing feathers (Sedge Warbler has a distinctly streaked mantle and dark centres to the wing coverts and tertials). | | | That left me having to consider that the bird was either a Reed Warbler (a rare passage bird on the island) or the even rarer Marsh Warbler (no records, from the main island) and therefore definitely worth further investigation. |

| | Flight speed is dependent upon the bird, the weather, the wind, etc. In general, the flight speed of small passerines varies from 15 to 50 mph. | | | Most adaptations a bird has for flight are based on two basic factors- increased power and decreased weight. | | | On a bird, a special small group of feathers attached to the thumb (1st digit), the alula, rests on the anterior wing surface and can be raised so that there is a gap between it and the rest of the wing. |

| | Flight Laboratory - The University of Montana-Missoula |
| | During this slow (<6 m s-1), maneuvering flight, pigeons produced a series of successive wingbeats (4 to 6) in which the wing on the outside of the turn produced greater peak force than the wing on the inside of the turn, suggesting that the birds maneuvered in a saltatory manner during slow flight. | | | Although this model probably describes most turns initiated during fast and gliding bird flight, it underestimates the complexity of maneuvering during slow, flapping flight, where sophisticated kinematics and neuromuscular control are needed to change direction effectively. | | | This asymmetrical downstroke force may be used to increase or re-establish bank lost during upstroke, or may be directed as thrust to compensate for adverse yaw or create excess yaw to alter the bird's direction of flight. |

| | Flight Laboratory - The University of Montana-Missoula |
| | Film and video evidence suggests that this traditional view is appropriate for birds in gliding flight; that is, to initiate a bank, gliding birds will pronate the inside wing, reducing its angle of attack, and increase the angle of attack of the outside wing by supinating it. | | | While this method is thought to be routinely employed by birds maneuvering in high speed, fixed-wing flight, the strategies and mechanisms used by birds to maneuver during low-speed, flapping flight were not understood. | | | (1998) Asymmetrical force production in the slow, maneuvering flight of birds. |
