Fig. 1:

Comparative mass-specific pectoralis power as a function of flight velocity in cockatiels, doves and magpies. Bird silhouettes are shown to scale, digitized from video. These different power curves can be described by equation (1), with different parameters combinations (α,β,γ). Adapted from Tobalske et al. (2003).
