Comment on "bird watching" goes both ways

  Hmm.. my chickens are very spoiled but they aren’t “have their own tv” spoiled… yet…

  Im not sure how much good a tv does with birds though, they see at over 120hz, to our 60hz so most of what we see as motion on tv they see as a series of still images

    To be fair, movies are 24fps!

    So movies might be too low framerate for a chicken, but 60+ fps game footage’d probably be alright.

      Ima have to try and see how they react.

      But chickens process 120-200 fps so I don’t that’d do the job to show them motion.

      I may have been mistaken about what hz refers to..? Not sure. Don’t… think so..?

        Hz is cycles per second. It’s used in monitors because monitors are refreshing their screen with a new image each cycle. Fps is frames per second, it’s more about the media itself. Hz to mean fps makes a certain sense though

        Oh yeah, hz and fps are the same thing here! I mostly said 24fps because you can display a 24fps movie on a higher refresh rate display and it’ll still be 24fps (hz is more usual when talking about what the display itself does, fps for the content it’s showing).

        And yeah, I’m more targeting “minimum to look like motion” than I am “perfectly smooth looks”, heh. :3
