The primary reliance of birds on vision is readily and frequently asserted. Casual observations of birds completing their everyday behaviours is sufficient to convince most observers that birds are using vision to control their key behaviours. This assertion is supported by evidence that in most bird species relatively large portions of their brains are devoted to the analysis of information from vision. Also, the so-called intelligent behaviours of birds seem to be based primarily upon visual information. Thus, gaining information from vision, and using it to guide sophisticated behaviours, is seen as a vital component of what makes birds so fascinating.
鸟类主要依赖视觉，这一点 readily and frequently 被断言。鸟类完成其日常行为的 Casual observations 足以使大多数观察者相信鸟类正在使用视觉来控制其关键行为。这一断言得到了以下证据的支持：在大多数鸟类物种中，它们的大脑中相对较大的部分专门用于分析来自视觉的信息。此外，鸟类所谓的智能行为似乎主要基于视觉信息。因此，从视觉中获取信息，并将其用于指导复杂的行为，被视为鸟类如此迷人的重要组成部分。
