Cockscomb Wing

The cockscomb wing (ala cristae galli) is one of the most important organs in birds, responsible for flight and maneuvering. It consists of two parts: the main wing and the alar process, or cockscomb wing.

The main wing is the largest and most important part of the cockscomb wing. It has the shape of a triangle and consists of three parts: upper, middle and lower. The upper part of the cockscomb wing forms the main surface of the wing on which the feathers are located, while the middle and lower parts form the base of the wing.

The alar process, or cockscomb wing, is the second part of the cockscomb wing. It consists of several feathers that are located on the side surface of the wing and help the bird maneuver in the air. The wing process is crescent-shaped and serves to create lift during flight.

In addition, the cockscomb wing has several important functions. It helps the bird maintain balance during flight, and also provides maneuverability when changing direction. In addition, the cockscomb wing is involved in the process of flight control, allowing the bird to change the direction of movement and flight altitude.

In conclusion, the cock's wing is an important organ in birds that plays a key role in their flight and maneuvering. It consists of the main wing and the cockscomb wing and has several functions that help the bird maintain balance, maneuver, and control flight.



A winged formation located at the base of the crest of a rooster or other bird and consisting of a thin, conical rod and a horny sheath covering its base. The winged crest covering the shaft and the upper keratinized section of the crest (wattle) associated with it together serve as an additional stabilizer during the flight of the bird. In most domestic chickens, the winged comb protrudes 8–14 cm in the form of a very strong bone rod with a keratinized sheath. The horny shaft of the winged crest of the turukhtan also has a sheath (it is bare, black, and noticeably narrower). The horny sheath - or “spur” - has a different shape and structure in different birds; in the rooster and partridge it is a sharp cone-shaped rod with a spike at the end. The spurs of chickens and roosters are of different lengths and widths in shape: in young chickens and males at the beginning of the mating season they are long (5–7 cm), narrow and sharp, then by mid-autumn they become shorter (up to 4.5 cm or less) , wider and dumber, covering
