Anyone here into Birds. I'll be doing a research project coming up soon. I need some recommendations on taking core body temps.

does that mean you will be jamming thermometers up birds' asses?

cloaca, yes. But when a bird is under stress they body temperature rises quickly. Im looking more towards external, temperature sensitive radiotransmitters or Non contact Infrared thermometers....

Well, the best place for the (infrared) thermometer would probably be under the wing, directly against the skin.
Borrow a chicken and check for the place that has the highest temp.
