It depends on what they are studying. As far as age goes, carbon content, or carbon dating. Scientists can measure the carbon content in a birds bones and come to there conclusion of how long ago it lived. They also could be looking at it for comparative reasons, such as, a bird in Asia's bone density would be different than a similar species in North America:-)
