How do birds hear?

The simple answer is with ears just like you and me. But unlike us, birds don't have a fleshy outer ear to catch sound waves or hang jewelry on. Instead they have small ear openings on the sides of their heads. These openings or holes are usually hidden under special feathers that do not restrict their hearing. Some birds like Ostriches and Old World Vultures do not have feathers on their heads so the ear openings are exposed on these species.

Their ears are below and just behind their eyes, they do not have external ear lobes, but if you look very carefully, you'll notice a small patch of feathers that are coarser than the ones on the rest of it's head,

thats the ear covering feathers, also if you ever get to hold a song thrush or blackbird, you can gently move those feathers and see the ear canal,

i have raised quite a few wild Blackbirds and a song thrush, most from the chick stage, so before their feathers came in i could see their ears very easily.

Birds do have ear holes which are hidden underneath feathers at the side of their head.

Birds do not have ears but holes with ear flaps on top, this keeps it aerodynamic as well as enabling it to hear.

Because they do. Birds have been dissected so we know they have them. All they have are holes in each side of their heads behind where the beak hinges.

Well, you have to look on the side of a birds head. Their ear is a very small hole on the side of their head, so go to a pet store to get a closer look.
