Not just a bunch of bird brains

BIRDS of a feather drink together, as this amazing photo reveals.

At Post Office Square, in Brisbane's bustling CBD, three clever pigeons showed remarkable teamwork on Thursday in an effort to quench their thirst.

After waiting until it was clear of humans, one pigeon jumped on the lever of a water fountain, while another kept watch and the third took a cool drink. When it had drunk its fill, and had a bath, it was time to move along and let his mates in on the action.

For 10 minutes the birds drank and washed while passers-by marvelled at their ingenuity.

Unlike other birds who take a sip of water and throw back their heads to swallow, pigeons suck up water using their beaks like straws. And they are considered among the most intelligent of all the bird species.

While unpopular with city workers - pigeons are nicknamed the rats of the sky - they are quite clean. And now we know why! LinkHere
