... speeds. To test these predictions, we studied high-speed film recordings (300 Hz) of wing and body motion in zebra finches ( Taenopygia guttata , mean mass 13.2 g, N =4) taken as the birds flew in a variable-speed wind tunnel (0–14 m s −1 ). The zebra finches used flap-bounding flight at all speeds, so...
