Flapping flight is very energy intensive. A wind tunnel test on an 89 gg starling showed that the bird used 12 WW of metabolic power to fly at 11 m/sm/s.

A migrating starling flies steadily at 11 m/sm/s for 1.0hh, using energy from its fat stores. How many grams of fat does it burn? Consider that metabolizing 1 gg of fat releases approximately 37 kJkJ of energy.
