The above statement is True.
Rods and cones are two types of light-sensitive cells in the retina of an eye. Rods are rod-shaped cells that are sensitive to low light or dim light. Cones are cone-shaped, bright-light-sensitive cells. The most crucial components for vision in dim light are rods. Since night birds are active in the night, they have more rods and less of cones.
