REMINDER: Pigeons are not stupid or simple

London Pidge got terribly sad 😔 the other day when someone labelled them 'stupid'.

Studying, watching and rehabilitating these birds for many years I can 100% say they have complex emotions, are incredibly intelligent.

There is also much scientific evidence and journals. Coming from an academic background I'm so honoured to study these magnificent birds.

--------

They can do puzzle games and tests show they can learn the 26 letters of the English alphabet 🔠

They can remember hundreds of images and recognise people or places, even the difference between art paintings 🖼

Navigate themselves miles back home 🏡

Distinguish between colours 🟡

Form bonds and have a diverse social structure 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

This is only the tip of the iceberg.

---------

Take a moment to watch them, enjoy their beautiful colours, they aren't just simply bobbing around.

Just how big is the universe we live in? This answer is something we are unable to obtain, given our current technology and measurement of the universe. We can make an educated guess, but we are far from exploring the universe. We can better estimate the size of our galaxy. All in all, it’s a ma ....
