Birds possess a mechanism which allows passive flexion of the digits of the hind limbs which consists of two components: “automatic digital flexor mechanism” (ADFM) and “digital tendon-locking mechanism” (DTLM). The aim of this paper was to establish the existence and specificities of those components in examples of birds with anisodactyl (domestic chickens) and zygodactyl (parrots) digit layout using standard anatomical dissection and histological methods. Spatial distribution of the parrots’ muscles with a central role in DTLM (M. flexor digitorum longus and m. flexor hallucis longus) was the same as the chickens’. The plantar position of the fourth digit, which makes the difference between the anisodactyl and the zygodactyl digit layouts, did not cause changes in the position and function of this flexor muscles. The domestic chickens’ tendon sheath ridges, as well as the tendon tubercles of the flexor muscles were less developed while the parrots’ tubercles and ridges were clearly defined and the differences in their morphology were visible. There were no chondrogenic elements or they were barely noticeable in the parrots’ tendons. A potential cause of these distinctions could be the difference in the load which the tendons endure due to the different biomechanical composition. The parrots primarily inhabit trees where they move agilely around by grasping the branches. The Galliformes have a much larger body mass which is a consequence of their life on the ground, so the flexor muscle tendons suffer a greater load than the parrots and the cartilage tissue embedded in the tendon itself could act to distribute the weight of the body borne by the foot and the tendon.
