Racing pigeons can be trained to study paintings and evaluate them like a critic, according to Japanese scientists who offered the birds food as an incentive to study the colour, pattern and texture of paintings. The birds were shown paintings diplayed on a computer monitor and consistently pecked at those that had been judged "good" by human critics.
