Pigeons are incredibly complex and intelligent animals. They are one of only a small number of species to pass the ‘mirror test’ – a test of self recognition. They can also recognise each letter of the human alphabet, differentiate between photographs, and even distinguish different humans within a photograph.

Pigeons are stout-bodied birds with short necks, and short slender bills that, in some species, feature fleshy ceres. They primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and plants.

Pigeons exhibit considerable variation in size, ranging in length from 15 to 75 centimetres, and in weight from 30 g to above 2,000 g. They have unique body feathers, with the shaft being generally broad, strong, and flattened, tapering to a fine point.
