Abstract: | Abstract Analysis of the flight behaviour of siskins (Carduelis spinus) was made possible by tethering them with a harness to a flight balance in a wind tunnel. It could be shown that the breast feathers work as an air-current sense organ influencing the siskins' flight pattern and the aerodynamic parameters. |
