Pigeon wings under a UV light

grison-in-space

Note that pigeons, like most birds, have UV cones and so the odds are pretty good that they can see those patterns. (They also have magnetoceptic receptors in their eyes that probably allow them to see the polarization of light, too.)

They can't hear anything higher than 4 kHz very well, though. (Our upper limit, like many mammals, ranges up to 20 kHz--well above what any bird can dream of.) That means that the range of human speech and music moves above what the pigeon can even hope to perceive. Their perception of the soundscape must be very different than ours--especially because pigeons are actually adapted to hear right down to about 0.5 Hz, well below our own species lower limit of ~2Hz. They're probably also using this grasp of the infrasound to navigate.

What fascinating animals. What a wonderful experience, what an alien world exists behind the eyes of a pigeon!
