Abstract in brief

  • Researchers used a motion-capture system to study how pigeons orient their heads towards attention-grabbing objects in their environment.
  • Pigeons primarily utilize their foveas for distant viewing and their visually-sensitive "red areas" for observing nearby objects, indicating a specialized visual strategy.
  • The study revealed that pigeons tend to fixate longer on objects seen with their foveas and showed a preference for using their right eye for detailed small objects while reserving their left eye for threats and social interactions.
