Winning entry, with a score of:
61.7%
Contest goal:

Pigeons are considered to be one of the most intelligent birds on the planet, able to undertake tasks previously thought to be the sole preserve of humans and primates. The pigeon has also been found to pass the 'mirror test' (being able to recognize its own reflection in a mirror) and is one of only 6 species, and the only non-mammal, that has this ability.

The pigeon can also recognize all 26 letters of the English language as well as being able to conceptualize. In scientific tests pigeons have been found to be able to differentiate between photographs and even differentiate between two different human beings in a photograph when rewarded with food for doing so. For more cool facts about pigeons visit this site.

Your goal is to take your best picture of a pigeon, or pigeons. If the pigeon is of an unusual breed please provide the name so it can be verified that it's from a pigeon family. Good luck, and have fun.


Required level: 5+ or higher.
