The phrase "avian brain" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions related to biology, neuroscience, or animal behavior, particularly when referring to the brain structure or function of birds.
Example: "Researchers are studying the avian brain to understand how birds process information and navigate their environments."
Alternatives: "bird brain" or "brain of birds".

For these reasons, research on the avian brain and behavior occupies an increasingly important place in contemporary behavioral biology.
This, though, is quite measured compared with the tribute posted by one fan: "Alex taught us many, many things about how the avian brain works.
Additionally I am working with members of the Department of Clinical Sciences to better understand the distribution of pain receptors the avian brain in order to enhance our ability to provide analgesia in these patients.
Research on avian cognitive neuroscience over the past two decades has revealed the avian brain to be a better model for understanding human cognition than previously thought, despite differences in the neuroarchitecture of avian and mammalian brains.
Together, these results further confirm our earlier hypothesis that inhibitory projections from SP to Rt modulate figure-ground discrimination, and suggest that the Rt and the SP/IPS provide a plausible substrate that could perform figure-ground segregation in avian brain.
"Most of the avian brain is completely different from the mammalian brain," he adds.
