However, the muscular system of neck, wings, tail, legs and ventral side of the body is well developed. Feathers are provided with non-striated muscles at the base, with an autonomic innervations serve to move the feathers. Striated subcutaneous muscles move groups of feathers.

Leg muscles: The leg musculature of pigeon is highly specialised and assists to perch on the branches of the tree, besides walking on land. The muscles are: (1) Peroneus longus: It originates from tibia and remains inserted to the tendon of flexor perforans et perforatus digiti (III). It flexes the digits. (2) Peroneus brevis:

Jan 28, 2024 · Pigeons, like all birds, have a well-developed muscular system that enables them to perform various activities, such as flying and walking. The muscles in a pigeon’s body are specialized and adapted to meet the specific needs of its movements. In this article, we will explore the key aspects of pigeon muscles and their functions.

The perching muscles of pigeon include following two sets of muscles, viz., flexor and extensor muscles. 1. Flexor Muscles: There occur eight flexor muscles on the back of the tibiotarsus bone of hindlimb, all of them remain inserted up on the knee-joint. These flexor muscles perform the perching. Six of them pass their tendons to the

Dec 1, 2012 · This study explored the muscle strain and activation patterns of several key flight muscles of the pigeon (Columba livia) during takeoff and landing flight. Using electromyography (EMG) to measure muscle activation, and sonomicrometry to quantify muscle strain, we evaluated the muscle function patterns of the pectoralis, biceps, humerotriceps ...
