Simon, Khufu, and Pearl Pigeon taught me tricks

1) Simon Pigeon (RIP) taught me that when he pecked at my shirt, he wanted a treat.
2) Then Khufu Pigeon taught me the same thing
3) Now Pearl Pigeon has taught me that when she pecks at my shirt she wants a treat. . . . . .(Pigeons are smart ~:<)
. . . . Simon and Khufu also taught me that when they pecked my HAND they wanted a HUG. (Pearl has yet to teach me that, I've only had her 3 weeks)
.

Khufu is a mostly black 1yo Egyptian Swift. - 180211c

It was quite unusual. He usually comes down the hall to my office for his goodnight hug around 10:00 pm ... it's 8:55pm ...
BUT ...
then I remembered, ... it's not daylight savings time anymore. Simon has not reset his clock.

Now I'm sure. Simon Pigeon can tell time.

Now I'm sure. Simon Pigeon can tell time.
For the last month or so, every night right around 10pm news time, Simon Pigeon comes looking for me so I can give him his good night hug and then put him to bed.
. . I always thought it was the TV news show that told him the time, but last night he came to find me several minutes before the 10pm news started.
. . . . . . . . . . . ??? How does he know?
Simon needs his hug. He pecks at my hands until I have both hands clasped over him, then he's happy.
