Examples of pigeon intelligence

[Pidgey]

Yeah, John,

They beg--those pigeons that I posted pictures of in Slow Southern Style? They will sometimes all congregate on the hot tub cover and watch us in the house (with the MOST pitiful expressions) to get us to come out and feed them. They're... devious--but in a cute and endearing way!

Actually, it's "mind over matter"--their minds controlling my matter.

And, yes, I've seen them post a sentry who, as soon as I put the feed out, would go and fetch the crowd before eating himself.
