Devizes
Переглядів 1295 років тому
Devizes is a charming little town in Wiltshire, England. In its busy market place is a monument with an interesting inscription. Barry Morris showed me the monument and read out the inscription. I felt he had the right accents and intonation and the story would make a nice little video. On my return to SA Marta Swallow persuaded three of her friends to pose for photographs that tell the story.

      In English woodpeckers, the tongue is attached to the left nostril. Same for woodpeckers from other countries where driver's drive on the left side of the road.

    Cool~ One question: Why would owls move their heads to judge distance when they have binocular vision?

    • @WimSpronk
      @WimSpronk 5 років тому

      Very good question ! You've got me as I don't know the answer and will have to go back to my research.It is also possible that what I wrote about shore birds (bobbing up and down) is also incorrect. The owls moving sideways were taken at a rehabilitation centre and it is possible that they moved their heads as a way to show fear or anger. Thanks for your question.

    • @zombiedeutsch
      @zombiedeutsch 5 років тому

      I dont think birds can't judge distance.

    • @batfan1939
      @batfan1939 2 роки тому

      Humans do it too, though mostly with eye movement. Basically, because farther objects look smaller than closer ones, and because speed is distance over time, objects further away from us will appear to move slower than objects up close. This effect is known as "parallax." By watching how quickly something "moves past" us when we dart our eyes (or when a bird moves its head), it can provide a secondary means of telling foreground objects from background ones. Parallax scrolling is a common special effect in animation, especially video game animation, to create a sense of depth; and the same effect described above is used by astronomers using telescopes to determine the relative distance to stars. Another benefit is that it provides a three-dimensional view of the object: People rotate objects in their hands, close an eye to slightly shift our perspective, walk around objects, and even switch between standing and lying prone while looking at an object. Birds' head movements would have similar gains. This is why many optical illusions rely on "forced perspective," where the viewer is unable to adequately shift their viewpoint, to fool us.
