Though the pigeon’s brain is no bigger than the tip of your index finger, pigeons are actually smarter than a 3-year-old child. Research has proven that pigeons can actually tell the difference Monet and Picasso as well as recognize themselves in the mirror.
Furthermore, untrained pigeons can recognize people by their facial features, something that until now has only been seen in elephants and dolphins.
Prof Edward Wasserman from the University of Iowa, says "Pigeons can distinguish identities and emotional expressions on human faces, letters of the alphabet, misshapen pharmaceutical capsules, and even paintings by Monet vs Picasso."
In another study two researchers with the same body build, both women, fed pigeons in a park located in Paris. One researcher acted hostile to the pigeons and shooed them away while the other was indifferent. The next day both researches acted indifferent to the pigeons, yet the pigeons stayed away from the “hostile” researcher. Even changing their coats didn’t confuse them. No matter what they did, the “hostile researcher” was shunned by the pigeons.
From their research:“The fact that the pigeons appeared to know that clothing colour was not a good way of telling humans apart suggests that the birds have developed abilities to discriminate between humans in particular. This specialised ability may have come about over the long period of association with humans, from early domestication to many years of living in cities.”
Pam please tell Donnie these Hansennes do indeed have a lot of class. Large wings like I've never seen like maybe on a duck or owl. They have a lovely prance, and their Roman noses takes the cake. Love it! Keep up the good breeding Donnie.
Dear Don,
Just sending a gift for my appreciation for getting such nice Sion birds from you. When I get some youngsters from them, I will send you some photos. I am still planning on purchase another hen and cock. Have a good breeding season with your birds.
Received birds this morning here in Missouri. They are safe and both beautiful.
Beautiful female pigeon. Lovely mix of colors, fether quality and great posture. I figured her picture wasn't the best pose. The male is impressive and very masculine looking and I'm happy to say they are calm and get along very well together. Thanks again they are gorgeous....
The birds arrived today got them all tucked in the loft. You saved the best for last I think there nice birds ,,only sorry I didn't buy a couple of the other hens. Thanks alot

The Hen is here! Awesome bird & I can feel the power just holding her. She is very calm pigeon & that is always a plus. Thanks so much!
Hi this is Nate from Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you know the Andalusian cockbird made it here in good shape today. Thanks again!
Hi Don, birds are adapting well. I like their presentaion & calmness. Looks like they will fit in with my birds. I see what you mean about the BB. We'll see how he produces. Might b a genetic thing & go away when crossed with and unrelated hen.
Regards
Jim
