Pigeons lock their eyes in place when they are flying

Recent tech advancements in bird-mounted headsets have unveiled a fascinating aspect of pigeon behavior: while flying, these birds lock their eyes in place, rather than moving them to navigate. This finding challenges previous assumptions about pigeon vision and navigation. Understanding how pigeons manage to find their way over long distances without eye movement could provide insights into animal navigation mechanisms, which might even have implications for developing new technologies in navigation and robotics.
