Chicken Head Tracking - Smarter Every Day
AdultsAnimalsScienceTechnologyChickens have a great ability to keep their heads stable. Our bodies use a gyro-like mechanism in our ears which has 3 mutually orthogonal inertial measurement devices.

Chickens apparently have the same type mechanism only with a higher update rate.
