In <i>Avian Flight</i> (2005), the author notes that "most birds open and close their wings during every wing beat cycle", and proposes that the energetic cost to overcome friction during the "wing extension and flexion" of each beat cycle would be prohibitive. Offered instead is the theory that the function of these specialized barbules is to lock the primary feathers together on the wings' downstroke, during which high <a href="/wiki/Pressure" title="Pressure">pressure</a> from below the wings' surface would otherwise tend to cause the feathers to spread.<sup id="cite_ref-Videler2006_230-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Videler2006-230"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>226<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></dd> <dt id="frontal_shield"><dfn>frontal shield <span class="anchor" id="frontal_shields"></span><span class="anchor" id="facial_shield"></span><span class="anchor" id="frontal_plate"></span><span class="anchor" id="facial_shields"></span><span class="anchor" id="frontal_plates"></span><span class="anchor" id="face_shield"></span><span class="anchor" id="face_shields"></span></dfn></dt> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Frontal_shield" title="Frontal shield">Frontal shield</a></div> <dd><i>Also <b>facial shield</b>; <b>face shield</b>; <b>frontal plate</b>.</i> A hard or fleshy plate extending from the base of the <a href="#upper_mandible"><span title="See entry on this page at § upper mandible" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">upper mandible</span></a> over the <a href="#forehead"><span title="See entry on this page at § forehead" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">forehead</span></a> of several bird species including some <a href="/wiki/Water_bird" title="Water bird">water birds</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Rallidae" class="mw-redirect" title="Rallidae">rail family</a>, especially the <a href="/wiki/Moorhen" title="Moorhen">gallinules and moorhens</a>, <a href="/wiki/Swamphen" title="Swamphen">swamphens</a> and <a href="/wiki/Coot" title="Coot">coots</a>, as well as in <a href="/wiki/Jacanidae" title="Jacanidae">jacana</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Campbell533_231-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Campbell533-231"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>227<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> While most face shields are made up of fatty tissues, some birds, such as certain <a href="/wiki/Turaco" title="Turaco">turacos</a>, e.g., the <a href="/wiki/Red-crested_turaco" title="Red-crested turaco">red-crested turaco</a>, have face shields that are hard extensions of the mandible.<sup id="cite_ref-Grouw2013_232-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Grouw2013-232"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>228<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The size, shape and colour may exhibit <a href="/wiki/Testosterone" title="Testosterone">testosterone</a>-dependent variation in either sex during the year.<sup id="cite_ref-233" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-233"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>229<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Functionality appears to relate to protection of the face while feeding in or moving through dense vegetation, as well as to <a href="/wiki/Courtship_display" title="Courtship display">courtship display</a> and <a href="/wiki/Territory_(animal)" title="Territory (animal)">territorial</a> defence.<sup id="cite_ref-234" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-234"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>230<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> <i>Compare: <a href="#casque"><span title="See entry on this page at § casque" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">casque</span></a></i>.</dd> <dt id="furcula"><dfn>furcula <span class="anchor" id="furculae"></span><span class="anchor" id="wishbone"></span><span class="anchor" id="wishbones"></span><span class="anchor" id="wish-bone"></span><span class="anchor" id="wish-bones"></span><span class="anchor" id="merry_thought"></span><span class="anchor" id="merry-thought"></span></dfn></dt> <dd><i>Also, <b>wishbone</b>; <b>merry-thought</b>.</i> From the Latin for "little fork", the furcula is a forked <a href="/wiki/Bone" title="Bone">bone</a>, also found in some dinosaurs, located below the neck and formed by the fusion of the two <a href="/wiki/Clavicle" title="Clavicle">clavicles</a>.

Gleaning the leaves and branches of trees and shrubs is called "foliage gleaning", which can involve a variety of styles and maneuvers. Some birds, such as the <a href="/wiki/Common_chiffchaff" title="Common chiffchaff">common chiffchaff</a><sup id="cite_ref-243" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-243"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>239<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> of <a href="/wiki/Palearctic_realm" title="Palearctic realm">Eurasia</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Wilson%27s_warbler" title="Wilson&#39;s warbler">Wilson's warbler</a> of <a href="/wiki/Nearctic_realm" title="Nearctic realm">North America</a>, feed actively and appear energetic. Some will even hover in the air near a twig while gleaning from it; this behaviour is called "hover-gleaning". Other birds are more methodical in their approach to gleaning, even seeming lethargic as they perch upon and deliberately pick over foliage. This behaviour is characteristic of the <a href="/wiki/Bay-breasted_warbler" title="Bay-breasted warbler">bay-breasted warbler</a><sup id="cite_ref-Dunn_244-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dunn-244"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>240<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> and many <a href="/wiki/Vireo" title="Vireo">vireos</a>. Another tactic is to hang upside-down from the tips of branches to glean the undersides of leaves. Tits such as the familiar <a href="/wiki/Black-capped_chickadee" title="Black-capped chickadee">black-capped chickadee</a> are often observed feeding in this manner. Some birds, like the <a href="/wiki/Ruby-crowned_kinglet" title="Ruby-crowned kinglet">ruby-crowned kinglet</a>, use a combination of these tactics.

However, this classification has fallen into disuse as evolutionary studies have shown that many flightless birds have evolved from flighted birds.<sup id="cite_ref-274" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-274"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>270<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-275" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-275"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>271<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></dd> <dt id="kleptoparasitism"><dfn>kleptoparasitism <span class="anchor" id="kleptoparasite"></span></dfn></dt> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Kleptoparasitism" title="Kleptoparasitism">Kleptoparasitism</a></div> <dd>A bird's propensity to steal food from other birds, either opportunistically, or on a regular basis.<sup id="cite_ref-Elphick129_276-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Elphick129-276"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>272<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></dd> </dl> <div class="noprint" style="text-align:center;"><div role="navigation" id="toc" class="toc plainlinks" aria-labelledby="tocheading" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;

Feathers are dead structures at maturity which are gradually abraded and need to be replaced. Adult birds moult at least once a year, although many moult twice and a few three times each year. It is generally a slow process, as birds rarely shed all their feathers at any one time; the bird must retain sufficient feathers to regulate its <a href="/wiki/Thermoregulation" title="Thermoregulation">body temperature</a> and repel moisture. The number and area of feathers that are shed varies. In some moulting periods, a bird may renew only the feathers on the head and body, shedding the wing and tail feathers during a later moulting period. Some species of bird become flightless during an annual "wing moult" and must seek a protected habitat with a reliable food supply during that time. Typically, a bird begins to shed some old feathers, then <a href="/wiki/Pin_feathers" class="mw-redirect" title="Pin feathers">pin feathers</a> grow in to replace the old feathers. As the pin feathers become full feathers, other feathers are shed. This is a cyclical process that occurs in many phases. It is usually <a href="/wiki/Symmetrical" class="mw-redirect" title="Symmetrical">symmetrical</a>, with feather loss equal on each side of the body. Because feathers make up 4–12% of a bird's body weight, it takes a large amount of energy to replace them. For this reason, moults often occur immediately after the breeding season, but while food is still abundant.

Two types of torpor are recognized. In one type, such as in <a href="/wiki/Hummingbird" title="Hummingbird">hummingbirds</a>, torpor may be entered on a daily basis and last only a few hours; other behaviours, such as foraging, continue during non-torpor periods. For other species, torpor may only be entered during cold conditions or when food becomes limited, but may persist for weeks or even months. The extent of unresponsiveness during torpor can be pronounced. A hummingbird in deep torpor, for example, with a body temperature of 18&#160;°C (64&#160;°F), will not respond to a variety of external stimuli, such as attempts to push it from a perch; only the locking reflex of the feet stops the bird from falling.

The gland, a bilobed structure, is usually surrounded by a tuft of downy feathers that can act like a wick for the secreted oils.<sup id="cite_ref-Gill102_438-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gill102-438"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>434<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></dd> <dt id="uropygium"><dfn>uropygium</dfn></dt> <dd><i>See <a href="#rump"><span title="See entry on this page at § rump" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">rump</span></a>.</i></dd> </dl> <div class="noprint" style="text-align:center;"><div role="navigation" id="toc" class="toc plainlinks" aria-labelledby="tocheading" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto; text-align:left;"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><div class="hlist"> <div id="toctitle" class="toctitle" style="text-align:center;display:inline-block;"><span id="tocheading" style="font-weight:bold;">Contents&#58;&#160;</span></div> <div style="margin:auto; display:inline-block;"> <ul><li><a href="#top">Top</a></li> <li><a href="#A">A</a></li> <li><a href="#B">B</a></li> <li><a href="#C">C</a></li> <li><a href="#D">D</a></li> <li><a href="#E">E</a></li> <li><a href="#F">F</a></li> <li><a href="#G">G</a></li> <li><a href="#H">H</a></li> <li><a href="#I">I</a></li> <li><a href="#J">J</a></li> <li><a href="#K">K</a></li> <li><a href="#L">L</a></li> <li><a href="#M">M</a></li> <li><a href="#N">N</a></li> <li><a href="#O">O</a></li> <li><a href="#P">P</a></li> <li><a href="#Q">Q</a></li> <li><a href="#R">R</a></li> <li><a href="#S">S</a></li> <li><a href="#T">T</a></li> <li><a href="#U">U</a></li> <li><a href="#V">V</a></li> <li><a href="#W">W</a></li> <li><a href="#Y">Y</a></li> <li><a href="#Z">Z</a></li> <li><a href="#Explanatory_footnotes">Explanatory footnotes </a></li> <li><a href="#Citations">Citations </a></li> <li><a href="#Bibliography">Bibliography </a></li></ul> </div></div></div></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="V">V</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Glossary_of_bird_terms&amp;action=edit&amp;section=22" title="Edit section: V"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1228772891"> <dl class="glossary"> <dt id="vagrant"><dfn>vagrant</dfn></dt> <dd>Descriptive of a bird found outside its species' or subspecies' normal migration range or distribution area.<sup id="cite_ref-439" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-439"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>435<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></dd> <dt id="vane"><dfn>vane <span class="anchor" id="vanes"></span><span class="anchor" id="vexillum"></span><span class="anchor" id="vaxillum"></span><span class="anchor" id="vexilla"></span><span class="anchor" id="outer_vane"></span><span class="anchor" id="outer_vanes"></span><span class="anchor" id="outer-vane"></span><span class="anchor" id="outer-vanes"></span><span class="anchor" id="inner_vane"></span><span class="anchor" id="inner_vanes"></span><span class="anchor" id="inner-vane"></span><span class="anchor" id="inner-vanes"></span></dfn></dt> <dd><i>Also, <b>vexillum</b> – plural: <b>vexilla</b>.</i> The weblike expanse of flexible barbs, more or less interconnected by the <a href="#hooklets"><span title="See entry on this page at § hooklets" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">hooklets</span></a> of the <a href="#barbules"><span title="See entry on this page at § barbules" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">barbules</span></a>, extending from each side of the distal part of the feather's shaft known as the <a href="#rachis"><span title="See entry on this page at § rachis" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">rachis</span></a>.

The <a href="#upperwing"><span title="See entry on this page at § upperwing" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">upperwing</span></a> coverts fall into two groups: those on the <a href="#inner_wing"><span title="See entry on this page at § inner wing" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">inner wing</span></a>, which overlay the <a href="/wiki/Flight_feather#Secondaries" title="Flight feather">secondary flight feathers</a>, are known as the secondary coverts, and those on the <a href="#outer_wing"><span title="See entry on this page at § outer wing" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">outer wing</span></a>, which overlay the <a href="/wiki/Flight_feather#Primaries" title="Flight feather">primary flight feathers</a>, are known as the primary coverts. Within each group, the feathers form a number of rows. The feathers of the outermost, largest, row are termed greater (primary-/secondary-) coverts; those in the next row are the median (primary-/secondary-) coverts, and any remaining rows are termed lesser (primary-/secondary-) coverts. The <a href="#underwing"><span title="See entry on this page at § underwing" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">underwing</span></a> has corresponding sets of coverts (the names upperwing coverts and underwing coverts are used to distinguish the corresponding sets). In addition, the front edge of the wing is covered with a group of feathers called the marginal coverts. Within each group of wing coverts, the rows of feathers overlap each other like <a href="/wiki/Roof_tile" class="mw-redirect" title="Roof tile">roof tiles</a> (the greater coverts are overlain by the median coverts, which in turn are overlain by the outermost row of lesser coverts, and so on).<sup id="cite_ref-Pettingill16-21_19-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pettingill16-21-19"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> <i>See also: <a href="#axillaries"><span title="See entry on this page at § axillaries" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">axillaries</span></a>; <a href="#ear_coverts"><span title="See entry on this page at § ear coverts" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">ear coverts</span></a>; <a href="#wing_lining"><span title="See entry on this page at § wing lining" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">wing lining</span></a> (marginal coverts).</i></dd> <dt id="wing_formula"><dfn>wing formula <span class="anchor" id="wing_formulae"></span></dfn></dt> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Flight_feather#Wing_formula" title="Flight feather">Flight feather §&#160;Wing formula</a></div> <dd>A <a href="/wiki/Mathematical" class="mw-redirect" title="Mathematical">mathematical</a> classification of the shape of the distal end of a bird's wing.

To determine a bird's wing formula, the exposed distance between the tip of the most distal <a href="#primary"><span title="See entry on this page at § primary" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">primary</span></a>, and the tip of its <a href="#greater_covert"><span title="See entry on this page at § greater covert" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">greater covert</span></a> (the longest of the feathers that cover and protect the shaft of that primary), is measured in millimetres. In some cases, this results in a positive number (e.g., the primary extends beyond its greater covert), while in other cases it is a negative number (e.g., the primary is completely covered by the greater covert, as happens in some passerine species). Next, the longest primary feather is identified, and the differences in millimetres is measured between: i) the length of that primary; ii) that of all of the remaining primaries; and iii) of the longest secondary. If any primary shows a notch or <a href="#emargination"><span title="See entry on this page at § emargination" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">emargination</span></a>, this is noted, and the distance between the feather's tip and any notch is measured, as is the depth of the notch. All distance measurements are made with the bird's wing closed, so as to maintain the relative positions of the feathers. While there can be considerable variation across members of a species—and while the results are obviously impacted by the effects of <a href="#moult"><span title="See entry on this page at § moult" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">moult</span></a> and feather regeneration—even very closely related species show clear differences in their wing formulae.<sup id="cite_ref-Campbell656_20-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Campbell656-20"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></dd> <dt id="wing_lining"><dfn>wing lining <span class="anchor" id="wing_linings"></span><span class="anchor" id="winglining"></span><span class="anchor" id="winglinings"></span><span class="anchor" id="wing-lining"></span><span class="anchor" id="wing-linings"></span><span class="anchor" id="marginal_coverts"></span><span class="anchor" id="marginal-coverts"></span><span class="anchor" id="marginal-coverts"></span><span class="anchor" id="median_primary_covert"></span><span class="anchor" id="median_secondary_covert"></span><span class="anchor" id="median_primary_coverts"></span><span class="anchor" id="median_secondary_coverts"></span></dfn></dt> <dd><i>Also, <b>marginal coverts</b>.</i> A grouping of very soft <a href="#covert_feathers"><span title="See entry on this page at § covert feathers" class="glossary-link-internal" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #86a1ff;color:initial;">covert feathers</span></a> lining the anterior edge of the underside of the wing.

The wing sometimes has vestigial claws. In most species these are lost by the time the bird is adult (such as the highly visible ones used for active climbing by <a href="/wiki/Hoatzin" title="Hoatzin">hoatzin</a> chicks), but claws are retained into adulthood by the <a href="/wiki/Secretarybird" title="Secretarybird">secretarybird</a>, <a href="/wiki/Screamer" title="Screamer">screamers</a>, <a href="/wiki/Heliornithidae" title="Heliornithidae">finfoots</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ostrich" title="Ostrich">ostriches</a>, several <a href="/wiki/Swift_(bird)" title="Swift (bird)">swifts</a> and numerous others, as a local trait, in a few specimens. Bird wings are generally grouped into four types: i) elliptical wings—short, rounded and having a low aspect ratio, they allow for tight maneuvering in confined spaces such as might be found in dense vegetation. They are common in forest raptors, many migratory species of <a href="/wiki/Passerine" title="Passerine">passerines</a>, and in species such as <a href="/wiki/Pheasant" title="Pheasant">pheasants</a> and <a href="/wiki/Partridge" title="Partridge">partridges</a> that use a rapid take-off to evade predators. ii) High speed wings—short, pointed wings that, when combined with a heavy wing loading and rapid wingbeats, provide an energetically expensive high speed, as used by the bird with the fastest wing speed, the <a href="/wiki/Peregrine_falcon" title="Peregrine falcon">peregrine falcon</a>. Most <a href="/wiki/Duck" title="Duck">ducks</a> and <a href="/wiki/Auk" title="Auk">auks</a> have this type of wing but use the configuration for a different purpose, to "fly" underwater. iii) High aspect ratio wings—typified by low wing loading and being far longer than they are wide, they are used for slower flight, which may take the form of almost hovering (as used by <a href="/wiki/Kestrel" title="Kestrel">kestrels</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tern" title="Tern">terns</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nightjar" title="Nightjar">nightjars</a>), or in soaring and <a href="/wiki/Gliding" title="Gliding">gliding</a> flight, particularly the <a href="/wiki/Dynamic_soaring" title="Dynamic soaring">dynamic soaring</a> used by <a href="/wiki/Seabird" title="Seabird">seabirds</a>, which takes advantage of wind speed variation at different altitudes (<a href="/wiki/Wind_shear" title="Wind shear">wind shear</a>) above ocean waves to provide lift. iv) Soaring wings with deep slots—common in larger species of inland birds, such as <a href="/wiki/Eagle" title="Eagle">eagles</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vulture" title="Vulture">vultures</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pelican" title="Pelican">pelicans</a> and <a href="/wiki/Stork" title="Stork">storks</a>.
