Pigeons can do abstract mathematics


My friend Jane drew my attention to this article on pigeons. My father keeps and flies pigeons as a hobby, and so I wasn't too surprised to learn just how clever they really are. I've always been amazed that they could find their way home from very long distances, e.g. from south-western France to north-western England.


And here is some shameless advertizing for a video about my father, who is 87 years old, and his long-distance pigeon racing hobby/passion, which can be purchased at:
