“…Patterson-Kane et al (1997) argued that animals, including humans, may 1earn to "see" real objects because there are consequences for learning, often provided by interactions with the objects (Gibson, 1986). Although our pigeons c1early showed invariance with respect to the viewing conditions, it may be too early to tell whether pigeons recognize static scenes as depicting a particular bird that changes its images as it moves through 3-D space and time.…”

“…It is not clear, therefore, whether video images depict "real" moving objects for birds. Patterson-Kane et al (1997) suggested that, for domestic hens, video images are not adequate substitutes for real hens (see also D'Eath & Dawkins, 1996;Evans, Macedonia, & Marler, 1993;McQuoid & Galef, 1993). It is weil known that the avian visual system is very different from that of humans.…”

Two groups of pigeons were trained with a go/no-go proeedure to diseriminate video Images of eonspecifies based on the individuals or else on their aetions. Both groups showed rapid aequisition, and the diserimination transferred to new seenes in Experiment 1 and to static seenes in Experiment 2, In Experiment 3, experimentally naive pigeons were trained to diseriminate video Images of particular birds showing different aetions. Transfer to novel seenes, including a new bird and a new motion, revealed the dominanee of motion as a eue to diseriminate video Images, In Experiment 4, the pigeons trained to diseriminate video seenes of 2 pigeons showing a variety of activities sueeessfully reeognized these stimuli regardless of whether the video was played forward or baekward, and transferred the diserimination to still seenes. The findings suggest that pigeons' diserimination ofvideo images is primarily based on information that is invariant aeross statie and dynamic eonditions.Individual recognition is of great ecological relevance to animals. It is important for animals to respond differentially and appropriately to their social partners and to other individuals. There is little or no doubt that the ability to recognize individuals is based on perceptual and cognitive factors and on species-typical social interactive behaviors. Still or moving pictures of conspecifics have been used to study cognition and social behaviors in apes

“…Since a photograph of an object is a diminished stimulus, in comparison with the real object (Delius, Emmerton, Hörster, Jäger, & Ostheim, 2000), and the colors depicted in the photographs do not reproduce ultraviolet light (Cuthill & Bennett, 1993;Patterson-Kane, Nicol, Foster, & Temple, 1997), this suggests that some pigeons are likely to have the ability to discriminate between male and female pigeons in the field without motion, auditory, olfactory, tactile, or ultraviolet cues. Previous observational and experimental results have suggested that male pigeons do not use stationary visual cues to discriminate between male and female pigeons but rely on behavioral and interaction cues to ascertain the sex of a conspecific (Burley, 1981;Iwata, 1924Iwata, , 1926Levi, 1963;Whitman, 1919).…”

“…In addition, the development of a testing procedure for looking at how animals perceive and discriminate video stimuli per se would be of considerable value given the growing interest in such stimuli for studying animal behavior (e.g. Adret, 1997;McQuoid and Galef, 1993;Patterson-Kane et al, 1997;Shimizu, 1998).…”

Four pigeons were trained in a successive same/different procedure involving the alternation of two stimuli per trial. Using a go/no-go procedure, two different or two identical color photographs were alternated, with a brief, dark, inter-stimulus interval, on a computer screen for 20 s. Pigeons learned to discriminate between same (S+) and different (D−) sequences with moderate to large contrasts between successive pictures. Analyses of pecking behavior within single trials revealed this discrimination emerged at the earliest possible point in the sequence (i.e. by the presentation of the second item). Pigeons transferred to novel color and gray-scale pictures, and showed savings in tests with novel video stimuli. These results suggest that same/different discrimination and concept formation can be acquired with successively presented pairs of stimuli by pigeons. When combined with results using simultaneous same/different presentations, these findings further support a qualitative similarity among birds and primates in their capacity to judge certain types of stimulus relations.
