Several features of bird basilar papilla morphology were quantitatively studied in the starling and the pigeon in order to attempt a structure-function correlation. We confirmed and quantified several findings from earlier studies, but also obtained results contradictory to previous reports. The greatest discrepancies concerned the pattern of hair cell orientation. By including the results from ...
