Birds can tell if you are watching them -- because they are watching
you

In humans, the eyes are said to be the Œwindow to the soul¹, conveying
much about a person¹s emotions and intentions. New research

Well, I've seen them at it, so it can't be too hard to pick! Naturally they
are watching for eyes that watch them -- they're prey.
