seasonal reminder that the fruit & seeds of pumpkins is great for both pet and wild birds! so if you don’t eat pumpkin yourself, your bird friends will really appreciate it! (but please don’t give moldy or rotting pumpkins that have been sitting on your porch, or salted pumpkin seeds – birds cannot process salt like we do!)

adding on to the list of things pigeons can do…become an art critic! scientists have found that pigeons can differentiate between paintings that we generalize as “good” and “bad”, and can recognize paintings we conceptualize as beautiful. pigeons were able to apply this concept to paintings they had never been shown before as well.
