2:54 I was taught in an ornithology class that pigeons bob their heads in order to simulate 3D vision. Humans have two front-facing eyes that can create 3D based on the differences in what the eyes see, but pigeons can't do that. So, they bob to create that difference. Or so that was what I was told.

@NeilHiggins2187 4 года назад

Yeah I've heard this argument as well with lizards. There are some species (bearded dragons being one that I can independently verify, I used to work in an exotic pet store) that bob their heads quite often, usually while they are basking, which would rule out them doing it to stabilized their eyesight since they weren't moving in the first place. I supposed it could be both with pigeons though.

@orionthewildhunt9173 4 года назад

or both...

@Peregrineeagle 3 года назад

@@orionthewildhunt9173 Yes, it's both. The bobbing while walking is to stabilize their vision, you can see similar behavior in chickens. When they're standing still they'll sometimes move their heads around to gain better depth perception; Owls do this as well! You probably do it unconsciously when you're looking at something and can't quite gauge how far away it is, if you move your head around slightly the parallax relative to nearby objects helps you determine its distance.

I am a middle-aged farmer near the finger lakes of upstate NY. As a kid, I liked to watch red-tailed hawks swoop down and catch mice from the field as we were removing hay. So a field with knee high or waist high legumes and grasses would be cut to 6 or 7 centimeters. Hawks learned to exploit those fields currently getting worked for the easy sighting and hunting. Four decades later hawks have largely been replaced by crows and gulls eating mice from those fields.

I bred and sold white doves for awhile, and one of the final steps in a female deciding to bond with a certain male is by her tasting his milk. He might be strong and sexy as hell (to a female white dove), but if his milk isn't good enough to help feed the babies, she'll reject him. They take exactly 12 hour shifts in sitting on the eggs, and they're both so devoted that when it's time to switch, the parent that's been sitting kind of has to be shoved out of the nest by the parent who's turn it is to sit. There are times when neither one wants a break from sitting on the eggs, and they'll both sit on the nest together. They're very sweet, loving, intelligent birds.

In French speaking cultures, the owl is associated with all that is excellent and outstanding. A colloquial adjective in French for anything that is extra good is also the word for owl itself, "chouette." An owl is "une chouette" but anything that is excellent or awesome is described as "chouette" as in "Hey, I just found a new job!" "Really? Chouette!"

9:00 One big downside that owls have to deal with is that those hooks and loose feathers are not very good at repelling water. With most birds their tightly hooked feathers repel water so they aren't bothered by it but owl feathers absorb water. If they get very wet like falling into water their feathers absorb so much water they become too heavy to fly. This is why owls usually have a dry spot where they take shelter if it rains.
