Similar to mammals, marrow (blood cell forming tissue) in birds is primarily within bones. White blood cells develop through different stages and then squeeze between the lining cells of the wall of the marrow blood vessels and into the blood stream. Unlike mammals, red blood cells are produced along the marrow blood vessel lining. The immature cells stick to the lining and each other until they are mature and then they release into the blood.
