CHAPTER 18 III The Head 191

Figure 18-15 • Ventrodorsal projection of the head typically
provides a relatively low-contrast, low-detail view of the nasal
conchae and intervening septum.

Figure 18-14 • Ultra-close lateral view of the rostral surface of
the beak and cranium of an African Gray parrot showing a pair of
unique psittacine features: (1) a jointed beak (seen here as a small
gap in the left-hand margin of the image) and (2) a bone
embedded in the base of the tongue, a so-called entoglossum
bone.
