Abstract
⺠We developed devices to measure birds' response thresholds to nociceptive stimuli. ⺠The apparatus gave reliable measurements for both mechanical and thermal stimuli. ⺠Individual birds showed repeatability across tests within sessions. ⺠The range was comparable with thresholds in dissected chicken nerve filament fibres. ⺠The method appears suitable for studying nociceptive processes in unrestrained birds.
