Do birds have ears?


Answers:
Yes they do have ears,
They are located either side of its head but are hidden under small feathers, They are really small and the holes go inwards, If you move a few feathers either side of the head on any bird u will see the hole.
The reason they are so inconspicuous. is because if you've ever tried to carry on a conversation on a windy day, with wind thundering around your ears. Since wind constantly streams around flying birds, if they had floppy ears like we do they'd hear a lot of ear-thunder. Not having ear-flaps is just the price birds pay for being able to hear well as they fly.
Most birds have their ear holes covered with tiny feathers specially designed to cut down on wind noise while permitting sound waves to pass through. These feathers behave like the foam covers you see on politicians' microphones at outdoor rallies, where breezes cause uncovered mikes to thump. Some diving birds, such as penguins, have strong feathers covering their ear-holes, to protect delicate inner ears from intense water pressure.
Some birds even locate food with their ears. The Common Barn-owl can catch a mouse in total darkness, as the mouse scampers across a floor.
Yes they have ears and can hear very well :)
yes they have ears how do you think parrots learn to repeat what you want them to say?
Yes they do they have a keen hearing sense actually. One of their most strong senses followed by smell. There ears are little holes hidden beneath their feathers.
Of course they have ears, they are just mor ein their head then on the outside like outs. The ears are a litt bit behind and below the eyes, adn sometiems you can even see the break in feathers. If you own a parrot someimes you catch a glimpse of their ear when giving them a head scratch/cheek scartch. They looked really weird, but it's really cool. Why would you think they didn't have ears?
Yes they do.
OF COURSE!
They do. They just don't stick out. Their ears are just holes in the side of their heads
Yes. Owls actually have very special ears, one is slightly higher than the other and one points slightly up and one a little bit down. they use thier hearing like a radar and can pin point thier prey by sound alone.
of couse they do
yes of course they have two like humans it is a little hole that is covered up with the feathers around them birds ears are better then humans are...believe it...
they sure do. if you look closely you will see a small hole on each side of its head.
Of course they have ears! Look under their feathers on the side of their head behind their eyes. The ears look like two holes on either side of the bird's head.
