How Lovebirds Maneuver Rapidly Using Super-Fast Head Saccades and Image Feature Stabilization.

Diurnal flying animals such as birds depend primarily on vision to coordinate their flight path during goal-directed flight tasks. To extract the spatial structure of the surrounding environment, birds are thought to use retinal image motion (optical flow) that is primarily induced by motion of thei...
