Scientific & Biological Overview

Avian metabolic rate varies markedly between passerines (K=129) and non-passerines (K=78) due to elevated body temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are bird calories calculated?
BMR = K × BW(kg)^0.75, where K is 78 for parrots and raptors, and 129 for songbirds and finches.
