Which consequence occurs when a bird's air sacs are compressed reducing differential pressure?

💡 Explanation

Reduced pressure differential leads to less efficient airflow through the parabronchi – Ventilation-perfusion matching. This impairs uptake, therefore a decrease in oxygen supply reduces available energy to muscles for the required lift during flight, rather than temperature.
