(After Shiino, 1914) Bird The head skeleton of the chicken, as an example of the bird, contributes several useful points to the discussion of the nature and evolution of the osseous system. The type of flight practiced by the bird demands a high level of development of the eye and brain for the coordination and direction of action. Both of these features are reflected in the head in OTHER TETRAPODS • 75.
