The reference was from Wikipedia's entry for Kiwi: "While birds
generally have hollow bones to save weight and make flight practicable,
kiwi have marrow, in the style of mammals." so I would be interested to
know why they should make that distinctiion (other than the fact that
the wings and hence humerus, are tiny).
Do the experts here suppose that this wiki article needs editing?
I'd be surprised if "in the style of mammals" is accurate. `Course,
I'm a nuke, not a bio, so do please whack me down if I'm wrong.
