Watched some documentary ages ago and pigeons’ reaction times are so fast it’s almost like we move in slow motion to them. 250ms is the average for humans without training and pigeons trained to peck when a certain stimuli was presented showed theirs is roughly 80ms. Smaller birds are even faster. Pretty neat.
It also is down to their eyesight - humans see about 30 frames a second, birds see 120 frames a second. So most broadcast or recorded video appears as a series of still images for them.

I half-remember it being a thinking-reacting continuum. The less you think, the faster you react.
So therefore, head empty; twitchshot on point.
Saw something like that along with less length for signals to pass along neural pathways being a factor.
