Another example other than birds are squirrels, for example. To clarify what I mean: If you make a noise around them, these animals will suddenly, and very quickly, turn their head towards you. Then, after a couple of seconds, they will turn it away again, in the same sudden, unsmooth way. How come they can’t make smooth movements, and instead just move like a robot?

Animals’ reaction times are WAYYYYYYY faster than humans as they are constantly in danger of becoming prey. This, combined with their smaller, more survival driven brains, makes them perceive nearly everything as a threat. This makes them move in quick jerky motions and stop dead in their tracks sometimes. If you watch them though you will see them move smoothly when they percieve no threats.
