Question

Why do some birds always move their head this side that side why? give 5 example for this

Answer 1

Answer: Pigeons mainly bob their heads when walking to stabilize their vision and gain depth perception. Chickens and other birds do this too, because they have their eyes on the sides of their heads and don't have very good depth perception.

Interestingly, their head doesn't actually move back and forth, but instead they move their head forward and then keep it still while their body catches up. This happens over and over again which creates the illusion that they are bobbing their head back and forth, when in reality they are only moving it forward and then holding it in place while their body catches up. If you watch a slow motion video of a pigeon walking, this is very apparent.

EXPLANATION= I have a pet pigeon and he bobs his head while he walks. He also does the same exact thing when I carry him. The faster I walk, the faster he bobs his head, and it's really comical to see him moving his head as fast as he can to keep up with me. Even when he's standing still and wants to get a better view at something, he'll bob his head around in the same fashion, though not as dramatically.
