It always amazes me how small birds change direction mid-flight and seem to do it frequently, being able to make tons of movements in small urban areas with lots of obstacles.
Same thing with squirrels – they move so fast and seem to be able to make a hundred movements in the time a human could be able to make ten!
So what’s going on here? Do some animals just THINK faster than humans, and not only move faster than them?

Along with some things others have said said there is also something called flicker fusion rate, which is how quickly something can process visual information. Some animals like birds and insects will have a much higher rate than humans.
