... to between 5 and 20% of unloaded body mass. The energy cost of flight was measured using the 13 C-labelled bicarbonate technique, which was also calibrated in a separate experiment on resting birds, by comparing the elimination rate of 13 C in breath with a simultaneous measurement of oxygen consumption...
