... quantified as time elapsed between release of the bander's grip and a bird's departure from the open hand (Møller and IbáñezIbá˜Ibáñez-Álamo 2012). After breathing rate was recorded, the bander's grip was released [fingers withdrawn from around the bird's neck and shoulders so that only the bird's back remained in contact with the bander's hand (Fig. 3)]. While the observer continued to record the video, the legs were released so that the bird was unrestrained. If the bird did not immediately fly freely from the palm, the open hand holding the bird was gently raised and lowered 10-15 cm to rouse the bird from its tonic state. If the individual still did not fly after 30 s, it was ...
