I know birds can hear, so where are their ears? Rather silly sounding question, but I really want to know.
Thanks for your responses...

depending on what species, their ears are on the sides of their head near the bottom outer edge of their eye. They are a hole, and contrary to popular belief, again depending on species, the hole can be quite large - often about the same size of their eye.
Birds ears are also assymmertrical. This means they are not placed evenly on their head.
this means sounds from a single source reach the ears at slightly different times and this can help them judge distance and direction.
If you have a bird that doesnt mind beig touched, you can part the feathers on their head and have a look - but do this very quietly and gently, and push the feathers back when you are finished so that nothing can find its way in there.

Birds have Ears on the sides of their heads like humans do.
but a birds ears are just the hole , and not an outer ear like we have. This ear opening is under the feathers on the sides of their heads.
