– How do birds seemingly know which small bits on the ground are edible and which are not?

1.05K viewsBiologyOther

You see pigeons and other birds go mad when a bunch of breadcrumbs are thrown on the ground, but seem to know not to go for small rocks, earth, and other non edible things even if they were to be thrown in the same way.

Maybe I’m just underestimating the intelligence of pigeons or their keen eyesight? But they seem to know almost instantly what they can and can’t eat.

How do you know in the morning to eat the toast and not the plate? A combination of using your senses and your experience.
