Big Sky Documentary Film Festival

Young Bird Season has been selected to be part of the 2012 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival in Missoula, Montana.

This article in the New York Times outlines the results of a scientific study that suggest pigeons can learn abstract math in the same way that monkeys can, although “no testing has been done with numbers greater than nine, so whether a pigeon can count large numbers of bread crumbs or popcorn kernels is a question still open to investigation.”

Whether they can get up into the double digits or not, I continue to be proud of these guys for being so smart and interesting!
