Many people think pigeons are dumb and dirty, but they are the total opposite. According to my research, pigeons are considered to be some of the most intelligent birds on the planet. What most people don’t know is that the pigeon can also recognize all 26 letters of the English language as well as being able to conceptualize.

The main reason I think pigeons are clean is because there is very little evidence to suggest that they are significant transmitters of disease. Also, they are actually very clean due to their fastidious self-grooming. In All, there is very little evidence to support the idea that they are ‘rats with wings’ who spread disease.
