Had to work all day so yes this post is a bit late (it was meant for the 23rd).
A "researcher" at the University of Otago in New Zealand taught pigeons to peck images on a screen in order lowest to highest. They were eventually able to peck a groups of 6 to 9 images in the correct order.
Here is a link to the article (I'm too sleepy to go into great detail myself):http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/living/2017075376_birdmath23.html
I personally find this refreshing considering the prejudice people have against pigeons and wild animals that are forced to co exist with us in our cities. Give them some respect! They have a right to live here too!
Happy Christmas Eve!
