ask-koki-kariya: ramseyringnecks: cinnamonbirbs: chuckdrawsthings: u ever see a pigeon on public transport and wonder if it knows what the hell it’s doing I get sad because I wonder if they’ll make it back to their families or their mate. :( @cinnamonbirbs Don’t be sad, friend! They know exactly what they’re doing. ^v^ Pigeons have the same cognitive capacity as five year old humans, and have been documented taking advantage of our transportation systems to commute back and forth from foraging grounds farther than they could have easily flown, at a much lower energy cost. They know the times, which trains go where, where all the best food stops are, and which stop is theirs. And they tend to be model passengers, taking their seats under the big human seats, and politely filing out at their work and home stops. ^v^ pigeon has responsibilities I’m so proud of them -- source link
