Not all birds have their eyes on the side (eg owls, eagles etc) don't.
Those birds which hunt for their food have eyes that are front facing to give them stereo (3D) vision.
However those birds which are hunted (prey) (eg Ducks, Songbirds etc) have eyes on the side of their heads so that they can see all round themselves to spot hunters sneaking up on them. They do this at the expense of stereo vision.
The same is true of mammals, hunters have stereo vision and prey (eg horses) have eyes more on the side.

Why do some birds have eyes at the front of their head and some at the side?
Briefly, birds with eyes on the side are prey animals, and birds with eyes on the front are predators. Predatory activity in birds like owls and eagles requires stereoscopic vision (like humans have) for accurate distance judgement. Prey birds like pigeons need to be able to see 360 degrees around them in order to detect predators more effectively. They don't need to be able to calculate distance as accurately. Eagles and other raptors seems like they have eyes on the side, but if you look at them front-on, or look at their skulls, you can see that the eye orbits are oriented more to face front. Owls are a particularly obvious example of this kind of eyesight, and it gives them a characteristic flat face.

Why do birds avoid animals with large eyes?
Birds may avoid animals with large eyes because they could be perceived as potential predators or threats. The presence of large eyes might signal alertness or aggressiveness, leading birds to view them as a potential danger. Additionally, birds may have evolved to avoid animals with large eyes as a survival strategy to reduce the risk of being attacked or eaten.

Many birds and fish have eyes on the sides of their heads so they can see in almost all directions and look for predators. Predator animals usually have eyes facing forward so they can track and catch prey easily.
What is the difference between the human eye and the bird's eye?
Birds' eyes have more cones (color receptors) than humans, allowing them to see a wider range of colors and see ultraviolet light. Additionally, birds' eyes are larger in proportion to their body size than humans', giving them better visual acuity and depth perception.
