What is the difference between the eyes of the night birds and day birds?

The day birds can see clearly during the day but not at night. The day birds have more cones and less rods. The cones are sensitive to bright light and can sense colours. Night birds can see clearly at night but not during the day. Their eyes have a large cornea and pupil to allow more lighted pass. Also their retina has mostly rods and few cones. Rods are more sensitive to dim light.
