Apparently Pigeons have a color preference.....

So, in looking up this color stimuli thing.... I stumbled upon some article about pigeons color preference..... I'm not entirely sure how this may help me, and I haven't entirely gotten to a point where I understand what it is trying to say yet..... But I figured I would place it into a post so that I don't entirely lose it, and perhaps someone else can help me find out if it's useful if I leave it here for others to view....
