A Rock Pigeon bobs its head as it walks, making it appear that its head and feet are linked. Pigeons’ eyes are on the sides of their heads, permitting them to watch for predators from all directions, but limiting their ability to distinguish distances. To compensate, these birds move their heads and can see differences in apparent motion between nearby and distant objects.
