Pigeons' eyes are almost perfectly still when they're flying, study finds
When pigeons are flying through the air, they lock their eyes in a near-fixed position instead of moving them around. Researchers from Harvard University discovered this after attaching a lightweight rig of cameras and mirrors to nine pigeons before they took off on short flights. Their findings are published in a paper in the journal Current Biology.
