[–]Rad2 40 points41 points ago

the reason owls move their heads like this is because their eyes are fixed in their skull (meaning they cannot move their eyes like people do) so in order to get an idea of how close or far something is from them, they move their heads around like that.

What happened to regular stereo depth perception?

[–]latticusnon -3 points-2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If they can't move their eyes, then they can't focus them.

[–]sudowork 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I believe recursive was referring to binocular disparity (aka stereopsis). Also focusing doesn't necessarily have to do with moving your eyes; tiny muscles contract in order to change the shape of your eyes, analogous to a telescoping action (at least that's how it works for humans as far as I know). Though I imagine that owls wouldn't be able to see things near them.

I have strabismus and do the same thing. That circular motion technique is definitely the best one to use if you are approaching another person.

[–]roxya 17 points18 points ago

Do you also do a funny walk while doing that?

[–]GracieAngel 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually that is them demonstrating behaviour where they warn a predator they feel threatened, they are shaking their heads to signal they will attack. If they needed to move their head to focus they wouldn't be able to have pin point accuracy when in flight.

[–]eukary0te 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well when they're flying, the perspective is constantly shifting so they probably have an easier time of sensing depth than when stationary. Both theories sound plausible. If it's your theory, then it sounds like the guy filming them is fucked.

[–]GracieAngel 1 point2 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I vaguely remember a section in I think a book call Wesley/wozley/wally the owl or something a book about a woman at caltech raising an owl where she referred to it as the no no's. Where she got up close to a owl that was head bobbing at her because she thought something was wrong with it and it gored her arm or it could of happened. come to think of it i might of dreamed it up, but I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere.

EDIT Didn't dream it was right. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=g9U-1xxjxAsC&pg=PA19&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=3#v=onepage&q=no%20nos&f=false

That's a great idea. Each post from every subreddit should be reposted to every other subreddit. That way nobody will miss anything from subreddits they don't subscribe to.

True Story: At my old job we went to lunch in a pretty big group. Someone had recently started (who was an african american) so we invited him to go to lunch with us. Someone made a dumb wise crack at me, I snapped my fingers, did the neck twirl and said "Oh no your di-int". The kid went back and told HR that I made a racist joke "by impersonating an urban female" and I had to go through meetings and meetings and almost got fired because of it. Thank god one of my best friends there was also an african american and was at the same lunch and vouched that what I said wasn't in any way racist. Ugh, I had politically correctedness sometimes.

[–]cricketpants 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

its racist of him to assume an "urban female" would be black!

[–]RatherDashing 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think when my HR wrote up the report they didn't want to put "black female" in writing or something. That's how it was written up.

[–]cricketpants 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Either way my point is you weren't being racist because you didn't specify that the voice you were using was race specific. It's pretty racist to assume only black females can do the "oh no you di-int" thing and that anyone else doing it is being racist.

[–]RatherDashing 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

exactly.

i said I have an 8 year old niece who does it and I had seen someone do it on the friggin disney channel. a few months later the guy was fired for not showing up a few times (and not even calling out sick) and my buddy the IT guy went through the guys AIM conversations and one was with his father who said "if you are going to get fired make sure you take a white guy with you" so after showing that to HR everything was removed from my PERMANENT RECORD or whatever they had.

[–]fdsfds7h -2 points-1 points ago

In his opinion you are "racist." He is just saying that because you are white. "Anti-racist" is a code word for anti-white.

100% sure that if you weren't white, he wouldn't have had a problem.

Depth perception. They have tubular eyes that can't move in their sockets, so they compromise by moving their heads around to improve their three dimensional concept of what they're looking at.
