[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 100 points 2 years ago (4 children) Yo, no bullshit, my hen that sometimes rides on my shoulder catches shit I'd never notice. Mind you, it isn't armed enemies or anything, but those fucking squirrels are plottin on me. And the rooster, that crazy bastard would rip a shotgun out of my hands amd shove it up the ass of a coyote. My feathered homie goes hard on predators permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 2 years ago* (1 child) In my experience, roosters go hard on on everything. Well, some anyway. The other half are cuddly instead of aggressive. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago This crazy bugger used to go hard on everything, but the last month or so, he's turned into my buddy. Loves getting pets and scritches now. But he'll still flex on anything that isn't familiar unless it's a hen lol permalink fedilink source parent [–] BraveLittleToaster@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago Dinosaur blood in their veins permalink fedilink source parent [–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago Lucky, my roosters are either total assholes or complete cowards - but they both end up worthless when a fox or coyote show up. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) Watched some documentary ages ago and pigeons’ reaction times are so fast it’s almost like we move in slow motion to them. 250ms is the average for humans without training and pigeons trained to peck when a certain stimuli was presented showed theirs is roughly 80ms. Smaller birds are even faster. Pretty neat. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I half-remember it being a thinking-reacting continuum. The less you think, the faster you react. So therefore, head empty; twitchshot on point. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Saw something like that along with less length for signals to pass along neural pathways being a factor. permalink fedilink source parent [–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago It also is down to their eyesight - humans see about 30 frames a second, birds see 120 frames a second. So most broadcast or recorded video appears as a series of still images for them. permalink fedilink source parent
