The survival of songbirds depends in part upon eliminating illegal hunting. That means passing over the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East, where you’re liable to get shot, trapped, or otherwise hunted. Take Hawaii, for example. The population of Millerbirds on Laysan has doubled , and breeding seems to be going well.

This is because sight isn’t as imporant in hunting. Night vision and hunting. Dogs can see really well at night as they are great hunters and years ago would hunt in low light levels, so their vision has evolved in order to help them hunt. Distance and range.
