Pigeons

Posted by Christine on February 17, 2010

I posted several photos taken of pigeons on buildings on my travel blog, along with some interesting facts about these birds.

They have been around for a very long time, and have been a part of human lives since ancient times as well.

Here are a couple facts:

  • The first images of pigeons found by archeologists were in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), dating back to 3000 BC.
  • A pigeon can recognize its own reflection in a mirror and is one of only 6 species -and only non-mammal- that has that ability.

Check out my travel blog Boots-On-Dirt-Roads for photos and more fun pigeon facts.
