Hindlimb myology of the monk parakeet (Aves, Psittaciformes)
Journal of Morphology, 2014 ABSTRACTWe studied the hindlimb myology of the monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus). Like all parrots, it has zygodactyl feet enabling perching, climbing, hanging, moving easily among trees, and handling food. Muscles were described and weighed, and physiological cross‐sectional area (PCSA) of four flexors and one extensor was calculated.
