From AI:
Nictitating Membrane (Third Eyelid): This is a semi-transparent or translucent inner eyelid that moves horizontally across the eye from front to back.
Function: It acts like "built-in goggles," cleaning and moistening the cornea every few seconds while still allowing the bird to see.
Protection: It shields the eyes from wind, dust, and impact during high-speed dives or while tearing up prey.
