If the question keeps you up at night, sleep well, &#8217;cause here&#8217;s the answer:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The pigeon has side mounted eyes unlike humans and owls which have forward facing eyes.  As a pigeons have monocular vision rather than binocular vision <a href=\"http:\/\/www.straightdope.com\/classics\/a1_016.html\" target=\"_blank\">they bob their heads for    depth of perception<\/a>.  The pigeon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eyes work much better with stationary images and therefore, as the pigeon takes a step forward the head is temporarily left behind.  The next step jerks the head forward again and so on.  This allows the bird to correctly orient itself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Borrowed from: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deterapigeon.com\/21-amazing-facts-about-pigeons.htm\">21 A.F.Y.D.K.A.P. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>PS. Yes, the time stamp is right; it is 3:52 in the morning. I awoke after a weird dream  and couldn&#8217;t get back to sleep (something about hiding from bad people and getting stuck in a gutter in the process). So no, it wasn&#8217;t a vexing curiosity about pigies that keeps me from my slumber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"From%20The%20%26quot%3BJust%20Thought%20You%20Should%20Know%26quot%3B%20Dept%2C%20File%20%23%2078\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>Have you ever wondered why a pigeon bobs its head when it walks?
