But how much do people actually know about a bird eye? Fortunately, science has identified what makes the bird's eyes so special. After all, it is a vital part of the bird's anatomy that can mean the difference between life and death.
Did you know that your eye and the bird's eye have many of the same structural features? Both the human eye and the bird eye have a cornea, retina, iris, lens, anterior chamber and eyelids.
Some of these structures function in the same way for both humans and wild birds/domesticated birds. The obvious difference is the size of the eye in comparison to the rest of the body. A starling's eye is 15% of their body mass, whereas a human's eye is only 1%.
The bird eye is a complex and fascinating organ. And while it may share many of the same structures and functions as a human eye, it is somewhat superior. Wild birds depend on their eyesight. If something were to happen to its eyes or even just to one of the eyes, it would have drastic and dire consequences, in terms of survival.
