∙ 10y agoOwl eyes are large and face forward. This gives it a wide range of "binocular" vision (seeing an object with both eyes as humans do). Owls can see in 3 dimensions (height/width/depth) and can judge distances. The "viewing screen" for an owl is 110 degrees (human is 180). Of that 70 degrees is binocular.
Unlike humans, owls have tubular eyes, they cannot "roll" the eyes, but are always looking straight ahead, and they have 3 eyelids for protection. They also have very limited color vision and are farsighted and unable to focus on very close objects.

∙ 12y agoMany birds have human-like eyes, with what is known as binocular vision. This means that there are two eyes on the front of the face, not the sides. As a rule of thumb, predatory birds have binocular vision, and prey birds don't.
