Fig. 6. Mean pitch angle of the tail (A) and neck (B) relative the long axis of the
body of the birds (N=8) as a function of the position of the birds
inside the obstacle course. Different symbols denote the different difficulty
levels of the obstacle course. The legend describes these levels as the
horizontal distance between adjacent barriers (cm)
(Fig. 1). Vertical arrows
denote the position of the barriers. The horizontal axis was normalized by
dividing it by the distance between the two extreme barriers and shifting the
horizontal position of the first barrier to zero. Error bars are ±
