A thorough understanding of how animals fly is a central goal of many scientific disciplines. Birds are a commonly used model organism for flight research. The success of this model requires studying healthy and naturally flying birds in a laboratory setting. This use of a nontraditional laboratory animal species presents unique challenges to animal care staff and researchers alike. Here we review regulatory, animal care, and training considerations associated with avian flight research.
全面了解动物如何飞行是许多科学学科的核心目标。鸟类是飞行研究中常用的模式生物。这种模式的成功需要在实验室环境中研究健康且自然飞行的鸟类。使用这种非传统的实验动物物种给动物护理人员和研究人员都带来了独特的挑战。在此，我们回顾与鸟类飞行研究相关的监管、动物护理和培训方面的考虑因素。
