What do birds see? Especially the birds with eyes on the sides of their head. How do they catch bugs in the air and not crash into things without stereoscopic vision? "So what do birds with eyes on the opposite sides of their heads see? They see a much wider area, like a widescreen TV, but most of that area looks flattened compared to our vision. In the middle of that area they have overlap between the visual fields of each eye, so there they do perceive depth, allowing them to navigate while flying and judge how far to peck to grab a bug." toughlittlebirds.com
