How do birds hear?

The simple answer is with ears just like you and me. But unlike us, birds don't have a fleshy outer ear to catch sound waves or hang jewelry on. Instead they have small ear openings on the sides of their heads. These openings or holes are usually hidden under special feathers that do not restrict their hearing. Some birds like Ostriches and Old World Vultures do not have feathers on their heads so the ear openings are exposed on these species.
