Yet birds eyes still have nerves on top of light sensitive cells, obstructing the light. Birds also have a blind spot on each eye where nerves need to pierce the retina to go to brain.

Contrast with squid eyes, that have nerves underneath the light sensitive cells. No blind spots, better light sensitivity.

Squid are really stupid. What if blind spots make you smarter?
Octopi are not, and have no blind spots.
Congratulations on missing the point.
