## Caption

You ever try to get a video of LED lights and it looks crazy like this? 

It's because LEDs turn on and off thousands of times per second. Your eyes blend it together so they look steady, but your phone camera captures those rapid changes making the lights appear to flicker or pulse. Your camera is basically catching something your eyes don't notice. 

Birds eyes and brains have much faster visual processing compared to us which means they might see it as some kind of flicker as well? Maybe? Probably. Birds are crafty. Don't let them manipulate you.
