SharePigeons have featured in numerous experiments in comparative psychology, including experiments concerned with animal cognition, and as a result we have considerable knowledge of pigeon intelligence.
Pigeons can remember large numbers of individual images for a long time, e.g.
hundreds of images for periods of several years.
Pigeons can be taught relatively complex actions and response sequences, and can learn to make responses in different sequences.
