Difference between Bird vision and Common tern

Bird vision vs. Common tern

Vision is the most important sense for birds, since good eyesight is essential for safe flight, and this group has a number of adaptations which give visual acuity superior to that of other vertebrate groups; a pigeon has been described as "two eyes with wings". The common tern (Sterna hirundo) is a seabird in the family Laridae.

Similarities between Bird vision and Common tern

Bird vision and Common tern have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bird, Bird migration, Carotenoid, Cone cell, Diurnality, Gene, Gull, Nocturnality, Phytoplankton, Pigment, Retina, Seabird, Short-eared owl, Swallow, Ultraviolet.

Bird

Birds, also known as Aves, are a group of endothermic vertebrates, characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton.
