Do Pigeons Dream?

They might seem unlikely candidates for psychological analysis,
but pigeons have given a revealing insight into how animals, including humans, can be bound by dreams and supertition. In the Summer of 1947, a renowned psychiatrist named Skinner published his study on a group of pigeons that showed even animals are susceptible to the human conditions of dreams and superstition. Skinner conducted his research on a group of hungry pigeons whose body weights had been reduced to 75% of their normal weight when well-fed. For a few minutes each day, a mechanism fed the birds at regular intervals. What observers of the pigeons found showed the birds developing superstitious behaviour, believing that by acting in a particular way, or committing a certain action, food would arrive. Insights like this are highly significant which is why I have already signed up for our wonderful new County project - the Dream Team. It is all Alan's idea and what a good idea too.
