Patterns of loss body mass. Body mass variations in 5 European greenfinches and 5 budgerigars after evening feed during the night, in summer. Each value is a mean for several measurements in 5 birds at given T A, vertical lines ± SD. The data show that all the birds became fasted for at least 3–4 h and were in post absorptive state during the measurements. It is evident that the birds lose their body mass with the equal rate during the measurement
