==Avian Larynx==
The [[Larynx - Anatomy & Physiology|larynx]] is on the floor of the [[Oropharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|oropharynx]] supported by '''Cricoid''' and paired '''Arytenoid''' Cartilages which are different in structure to those in mammals. There is no [[Epiglottis|epiglottis.]] and there are no vocal folds - birds vocalise using a [[Syrinx - Anatomy & Physiology|syrinx]].
