Vision in Birds
Episode: 7
Summary
It can be argued that, of all the animals, birds are the best at seeing stuff. Most species have an excellent sense of sight.
In this episode, I’ll first introduce you to the anatomy of a bird’s eye.
Then, we’ll look into (see what I did there?) how birds perceive color and their visual acuity.
And last we’ll talk about the difference between monocular and binocular vision in birds.
