''Codex on the Flight of Birds'' is a relatively small notebook of Leonardo da Vinci which contains a study of bird flight and includes more than 35 drawings that approach the subject from both a scientific and an artistic perspective. Written between 1505 and 1506, the codex reflects Leonardo's deep interest in avian flight, as well as his broader investigations into the principles of aerodynamics and the elements of mechanical flight, which he hoped to apply to human-engineered flying machines.

The codex is composed of 18 folios and measures approximately 21×15 centimeters. It is penned in Leonardo's characteristic mirror writing, a technique he often employed, which involves writing from right to left in reverse script. The notebook is held at the Biblioteca Reale in Turin, Italy, where it has been preserved since 1893 after being acquired by the Italian government.

Leonardo's observations and insights within the ''Codex on the Flight of Birds'' are remarkably advanced for his time. He studied the behavior of birds, analyzing how they controlled their flight with the use of their wings and tail. He also examined the concept of air resistance and the way in which birds' wings manipulated the air around them to gain lift and maintain balance. The codex includes designs for several flying machines, including a flapping-wing device known as the ornithopter and a parachute.

The ''Codex on the Flight of Birds'' is not only a testament to Leonardo's genius as an artist and inventor but also an invaluable resource for understanding the history of aerodynamics. His work predated modern flight by several centuries, yet it laid the groundwork for the understanding of the principles that would eventually make human flight possible. Leonardo's blend of empirical observation and theoretical speculation in the codex exemplifies the Renaissance spirit of inquiry and the quest for knowledge that defined his multifaceted career.
