Rock Dove or Stone Pigeon?
Actually, Feral Pigeon. Stone Pigeons don't exist, silly!
Apparently, advanced studies at the University of Montana concluded that, 'pound for pound, columba livia (the pigeon) is one of the smartest, most physically adept creatures in the animal kingdom'.
Also, & interestingly, B.F. Skinner, the behavioral psychologist, taught his pigeons to play a crude form of ping-pong using their wings as paddles.
Would you believe it!?
I think at least one these 'facts' is a lie, though I really can't be sure which!? Thoughts on a carrier pigeon.
In the mean time, where's my ping-pong bat?!
