Anatomy, variation, and asymmetry of the bronchial tree in the African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus)

The avian respiratory system includes an immobilized, nearly
volume-constant, gas-exchanging lung connected to a set of air sacs that
fill the body cavity. These micro-computed tomography (µCT) scans of
deceased African grey parrots (Psittacus erithacus) were used to analyse
anatomical variation in the the gas-exchanging lung by taking
select metrics and by generating 3D surface models of airways.
The data include select portions of eleven axial µCT
image series taken every 94.19–97.23 µm and one
axial µCT series taken every 41.08 µm.
