A physical model suggests that hip-localized balance sense in birds improves state estimation in perching: implications for bipedal robots [PDF]
, 2018 In addition to a vestibular system, birds uniquely have a balance-sensing organ within the pelvis, called the lumbosacral organ (LSO). The LSO is well developed in terrestrial birds, possibly to facilitate balance control in perching and terrestrial ...

Mycoplasma synoviaein the guinea‐fowl [PDF]
Avian Pathology, 1976 A mycoplasma strain, isolated from natural synovitis of guinea-fowl, was identified as Mycoplasma synoviae. In experimental infection this agent showed clear pathogenicity for guinea-fowl, and to a lesser degree for chickens. In guinea-fowl the strain was more likely to result in synovitis and amyloidosis when inoculated by the intravenous route and to
