A:
- Antipredator defenses in birds (see Tim Caro's Antipredator defenses in birds and mammals) (encyclopedic topic?)
- Something about adaptation to life at high altitude
- Avian incubation -Denis Charles Deeming (2002) Avian Incubation: Behaviour, Environment, and Evolution.
- Avian polyomavirus - has some incoming links already
B:
- Bird behaviour
- Birds' diet – something more than Glossary of bird terms#D
- Bird flight altitudes: Which birds fly the highest and what is the highest altitude a bird can fly to? - Add in Bird flight as part of general technical data section?
- Bird identification - to Birding?
- Bird perch
- Bird race - meaning?
- Blackface budgerigar mutation
C: Bird call recordings, especially raven vs. crow
- Carnivorous birds - distinct from bird of prey, inclusive of raptors but also all piscivorous and insectivorous birds, as well as other birds such as the New Zealand Kea, owls and shrikes
- Crested budgerigar mutation
D:
E:
F:
- Fostering (falconry) - bird breeding technique for its introduction into nature ( es:Adopción directa)
- Free-flight in parrots - techniques used to train parrots to fly outside, unrestrained and in a controlled manner and return upon command - in some cases, parrots can be trained to be fully free-range and come and go as they please. Perhaps overlaps with falconry, but as far as I'm aware, many of the methods used are significantly different.

- Infanticide and siblicide in birds - (See Hrdy and Hausfater, 1984) probably merge egg tossing into it. Richard001 ( talk) 06:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- No, since that is done by brood parasites.

- Owls as pets - a reasonable article could probably be written about this. -- Kurt Shaped Box ( talk) 22:08, 1 July 2011 (UTC) Should be included in Owl, as that is where most people would go first to find the information. Need to include the cons, as owls are often idealized and the practice is growing more common - leading to a possible uptick of animal abuse.
- Owls of North America
P
- Pigeon predators - () - add in Pigeon as part of general discussion of ecology & habits? Should be included in pigeon.
- Puppet rearing - ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q119449643)
R
S:
- Saddleback budgerigar mutation
- Spangle budgerigar mutation
- Sperm competition in birds (a whole book has been written on this: Sperm competition in birds : evolutionary causes and consequences by T. R. Birkhead, A. P. Møller (encyclopedic topic?)
T:
- Tape lure - And that means....? KDS4444 Talk 22:06, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Tail feathers - we have an article on flight feathers, and "bird wing" redirects to bird flight, but the tail feathers are very different and seem to warrant their own article, esp. as there appear to be several distinct types (wedge, stub, streamer, etc.). See here and here for two starter references. KDS4444 Talk 22:02, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Toucans as pets - seem to be growing in popularity as pets, from what I've read. Maybe enough info out there to create a centralized article? Or perhaps at Companion toucan? -- Kurt Shaped Box ( talk) 07:45, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- This feels like it belongs as just a section under Toucan, though, doesn't it? Not that it isn't a large subject, only that people looking for this kind of information are going to be looking under "toucan" before they go to "toucans as pets". KDS4444 Talk 22:04, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
W:
- Wry neck in chickens
- White faced Cockatiel
- White Faced Cockatiel with Grey Body
- List of birds by flight duration and by flight length like the List of birds by flight speed - Tedtoal ( talk) 16:20, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
- List of pigeon breeds, especially those mentioned in the first chapter of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species.
- List of years in birding and ornithology
- Bioacoustics - I would like to ask somebody knowledgeable to expand this article with general info about bird vocalization research. My field is insect bioacoustics, so the article is a little biased towards that. -- Yerpo ( talk) 07:58, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
