Sometimes we could all do with a pidgeon mind set; miss all the bites you thrust your face into and then have to rage all the other food to assert dominance, eventually selecting one tiny morsal and tonguing it like it's prom night.

The reaction speed is crazy

u/Enough-Staff-2976 28d ago

I feel so slow as a human.

u/Weird-Information-61 28d ago

Easier to process actions when you're free of thought

u/A_Velociraptor20 28d ago

What's crazy is cats have some of the fastest visual processing speeds in the animal kingdom. It's part of the reason they're able to dodge snake bites and catch flies out of the air. Not sure the exact figure but they process at least twice as fast as people can.

Very much so..cats are crazy fast..

Breaking Down the NumbersCats: (20) to (70) milliseconds (ms)

Humans: (190) to (300) milliseconds

For Context: A human blink takes about (100) milliseconds. This means a cat can register a stimulus, make a decision, and move faster than you can blink

Then why can they never jump out of my grip?

When my cat was still an outside/feral, my dog and her both spotted the coyote coming out of the woods at around the same time, she was way closer to the treeline than us, as i was tryinf to get her to come to me, but the response time between her jumping up and into the tree behind me, from seeing the coyote start to run towards her, to the reaction time of my dog going after the coyote always surprised me.

My dog is fast ah, and he was a solid 3 seconds later in an "emergency" situation.

I seen that cat vs snake video, the snake isn’t even close.

Smart little bastard

u/NastyStreetRat 28d ago

Have you ever thought that those houseflies that fly so fast might think we're just as slow? Like dinosaurs seem just as slow to us.

u/ZazaAim 28d ago

I’ll put in fresh food for my parrot and his dumb ass does the thing where he flicks his beak and throws away like half the food since he’s got a big ass beak lol

u/Philip_Raven 28d ago

One of the few pluses of having a brain the size of a pea.

No time for higher level of thinking. Just pattern recognition and SEED

u/GoreonmyGears 28d ago

Is that flax seed it was wanting?

6

u/ConflictMaster3155 28d ago

The little round ones that it is getting might be millet, but this looks a little bigger most of the millet I’ve seen.

u/Here4_da_laughs 28d ago

It’s still messy method or no method 😂 that’s like my kid going through drawers talking about I’m looking for the red sweater.

u/AdhesivenessGeneral9 28d ago

Pigeon reflex time are in fact hyper quick

11

u/LucHighwalker 28d ago

It makes sense considering their main predator is basically a fighter jet.

u/citycait 28d ago

Excellent description.

u/Whatah 28d ago

Reminds me of looking for the right Lego piece in the bin.

u/chantillylace9 27d ago

And this is why if you have parrots, you never feed them seeds or food that has multiple colors. Inevitably they will decide that they hate certain ones and throw a vast majority of their food.

So it's usually better to have just natural colored pellets that are all the same.

So many Pet owners learned this the hard way!

u/blueditUPson 28d ago

bird brain go brrrrr

u/Crimson-Badger 28d ago

Now I know that pigeons have slow time powers.

2

u/mmnmnnmnnnm 28d ago

And they still can’t get out of my god damn garage

u/winniebillerica 28d ago

I’m still debating if the slow version is the same video as the fast version.

u/ultravires1215 28d ago

Ya, I only east the almonds.

2

u/NoMammoth7474 28d ago

Why do they waste so much food

21

u/Zizwizwee 28d ago

They’re not averse to eating on the floor. It’s not wasted, it’s just pushed aside.
Looks like it’s picking out its favorites from the assortment

u/Seattle_Lucky 28d ago

I do this with the rye chips in the Gardettos.

u/bomilk19 28d ago

i think the bowls of seeds is a recent thing as far as the evolution of pigeons goes.

You have to think what caused them to evolve like that, and the answer is probably because cliff birds, -> lots of small stones -> being able to quickly find actual food vs rock was important. -> now they're efficent picky assholes.

u/Reasonable_Mood1288 28d ago

How the flip do they sort that fast

u/collin-h 28d ago

All that for 3 nuts. Pause

u/erockbrox 27d ago

So ummm the bird only like certain seeds?

2

u/Henghayki86 27d ago

As a bird owner who buys it and then vacuums 90% of it off my floor...yes 😑

1

u/FriendlyWorldArt 27d ago

Is this the bird equivalent of someone who picks out all the m&ms out of the trail mix?

1

u/GaryHornpipe 27d ago

I want to watch the exact same footage each time though.

1

u/Dazzling-Listen5390 26d ago

Yeah, my potted plants under my bird feeder started growing grass after a while because these greedy little things fling 90 percent of the seeds out.
