The combination of flight, bipedal gait and an adaptable beak has enabled birds to exploit almost every environment and a wide range of diets. Flight involves a high energy output. Most birds use only high energy foods and few provide more energy than the flesh of other vertebrates.

Horner Syndrome in Birds of Prey
Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2019Horner syndrome, which results from oculosympathetic denervation, has rarely been reported in birds. A retrospective study was conducted in a raptor rehabilitation program to gain further insight into Horner syndrome in birds. Data from 5128 live raptors admitted over 20 years were reviewed.

Cardiac lesions in birds of prey
Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1982Abstract The hearts of 75 birds of prey (Falconiformes and Strigiformes) were examined macroscopically and histopathologically. Eighteen birds (24 per cent) showed lesions and these included myofibre degeneration, myocarditis, endocarditis, pericarditis and atheromatosis/arteriosclerosis.

Pharmacokinetics of gentamicin in birds of prey
American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1983SUMMARY The pharmacokinetics of gentamicin, including half-life, apparent volume of distribution, total body clearance, and fraction of drug absorbed from im injection sites, were determined in 3 species of birds of prey (red-tailed hawks, great horned owls, and golden eagles).
