Kyleakin Lofts Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I would think they do. If you watch them, they occasionally pick up grain and test it in their beak whilst also tasting it with their tongue, according to Old Hand. He knew everything.

billt Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 They certainly choose what grains to eat first and as they don't chew it I presume it's not taste that attracts them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Finnan Loft Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm told that pigeons don't have a sense of taste but I think they do. What does everyone else think? Birds do have a sense of taste, but it is not well refined, very few taste buds compared to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
