Birds have good eyesight, but most do not see well at night. Some species, like owls, have specially adapted eyes that allow them to hunt in low-light conditions. However, other birds may rely on hearing or other senses to navigate in the dark.

Not all birds see at night.some of the birds have a blurry vision or do not see at night birds such as owls cannot see at night and they see during the day with a clear vision.

Most bird species have limited visibility in low-light conditions, including at night. However, some nocturnal bird species, such as owls and nightjars, have adapted to see more effectively in the dark. These birds have specialized adaptations like large eyes, enhanced light-gathering capabilities, and increased numbers of light-sensitive cells in their retinas, allowing them to navigate and hunt in dimly lit environments. Overall, while not all birds have optimal night vision, some species have evolved to excel in nocturnal activities.

Some birds are nocturnal animals, meaning they are active at night. However, this does not necessarily mean that they can see clearly at night. Most birds have good vision during the day, but their vision is not as sharp in low light conditions. Some birds, such as owls, have adapted to be able to see better in the dark.

No, birds do not see clearly at night. Most bird species have limited or poor vision in low-light conditions, including during the nighttime. Their visual acuity is primarily adapted for daylight activities. While some birds, such as owls, are better equipped for low-light conditions due to specialized adaptations in their eyes, most birds rely on daylight vision for their activities such as foraging, navigating, and avoiding predators.

Birds, in general, do not see well in low-light conditions, such as nighttime. Most birds are adapted for diurnal (daytime) vision and have eyes that are not as well-suited for low-light environments. They have a high density of cone cells in their retinas, which are responsible for color vision and visual acuity in well-lit conditions.

While some birds, such as owls and nightjars, are known for their exceptional night vision, they are the exception rather than the rule. Nocturnal birds often have larger eyes and a higher density of rod cells in their retinas, which are specialized for low-light vision. They may also have other adaptations, such as improved motion detection, to hunt and navigate in darkness.

In summary, most birds do not see clearly at night, but some nocturnal bird species have specialized adaptations that allow them to see in low-light conditions.
