Birds have remarkable vision capabilities, including the ability to see ultraviolet light and electromagnetic fields. They possess four types of color receptors, allowing them to perceive a broader spectrum of colors than humans. Birds also have specialized fovea structures that enhance their visual acuity, enabling them to focus on distant and close objects simultaneously. Additionally, the pectinocculi structure in their eyes helps maintain clear vision by minimizing blood vessel interference. These adaptations make birds' vision superior in many ways, allowing them to navigate and hunt effectively.
