Birds are hypothesized to have two sets of balance organs, one in the inner ear (A) (common to terrestrial vertebrates) and a second within the synsacrum (B), termed the lumbosacral organ (LSO). The LSO is housed within an expanded vertebral canal, which exhibits a set of canal-like recesses (lumbosacral transverse canals [LSTCs]; C).
