Aspects of wing length, wingspan and body length measurements of live birds at banding stations
are reviewed, using as examples data from a banding station at Cowiebank, southeastern Queensland.
The histogram of the extended length measurement is a useful tool for sexing some morphometric
species, and its use at banding stations is recommended: it has good reproduceability, is relatively
consistent over periods of years, and is unlikely to result in injury to the bird.
