From the pigeon’s perspective, we humans live in the slow-lane. https://m.stacker.news/42759 (Image of a pegeon enjoying water, shot it in year 2022)
You could take a pigeon to the movies. And, being a pigeon, it would certainly enjoy the popcorn.
But the movie? Probably not. Because a movie made for humans would look to a pigeon - more like "a series of still images".
See, movies run at 24 frames per second, just right for humans to sense as normal speed. But pigeons, like other birds and small mammals, process the visual world several times faster. So where we see a “moving picture”, pigeons would see the individual frames of a film in slow motion.
So, that fast-paced car chase that puts us on the edge of our seats...is really more like a slow, boring slideshow or PowerPoint - for a pigeon.
A bird’s rapid-fire perception helps it stay alive, whether by hunting fast-moving prey or eluding speedy predators.
