million dollar idea: instead of spending thousands of dollars on steady-cam equipment, filmmakers should just attach a camera to the head of a chicken and carry the chicken around as you film.

Fact:

They actually did that.

cannot. stop. laughing.

Birds do this because their eyes are large, flattened disks instead of spheres, so the eyes can’t move in the skull. Instead, the bird moves its entire head in tiny motions. As such, they have the brain-programming, basically, to subconsciously move their head to give them steady sight in the same way that mammals subconsciously move their eyes. It’s awesome.
