Experience of any surviving in the wild would be helpful. (My understanding is hawks/falcons/owls have a more developed
binocular vision to assist with hunting and to magnify the target prey from a distance. For Kestrel spotting small prey from a long distance relies exactly on the specific vision provided by each eye simultaneously - impairment of this ability which relies on two 'good' eyes must surely undermine their ability to hunt in the wild for any prolonged period)
