PIGEONS (A.K.A. SKY RATS) MIGHT ACTUALLY BE INTELLIGENT ANIMALS: “Pigeons seem like particularly stupid birds. They alternate between frantic head bobbing and blank gazes, which are often interrupted with a lazy flutter of their oil-sheen plumage to avoid bone-crushing foot falls. But these flying rats may just be putting on a good show. Research published Wednesday shows that urban dwelling birds tend to have substantially larger brains than their country-bumpkin cousins.” http://persquaremile.com/2011/04/28/city-birds-smarter-than-you-mightthink/
