It's also a question of inputs, practice and body structure. I'm sure ravens massively outperform even the smartest of humans on landing after a jump, and their sense of what the air pressure is around them, even including localized changes that neither us nor them can see should be impeccable, despite using less and worse sensors, and much less processing capacity to do this with. But for humans there's very rarely any reason to do it at all, and so we suck at it. So this is not any stranger than the fact that most Chinese suck at writing German poetry, and vice versa.
