... In this case, we can compare the ratio of energy expenditure for these activities in passerine and non-passerine birds. Further, the existing energy averages daily energy expenditure of caged birds for longterm sustained rate of biological activity and the expenditure (Kendeigh et al. 1977;Peters 1983;Calder 1984) and the expenditure of energy for flight (Berger and Hart 1974;Tucker 1974;Kendeigh et al. 1977;Ward et al. 2004;Schmidt-Wellenburg et al. 2008) is correlated in these groups as 1: 0.73-0.75, which corresponds well to the difference in the BMR in passerine and non-passerine birds. ...
