The mere presence of a trained stage magician supervising any attempt to demonstrate ESP guarantees the absense of the phenomena.

Hmm.... I suspect that dogs and pidgeons are impervious to stage magicians, even if humans are intimidated.

Dogs and pigeons -- have I missed anything in the scientific literature?

Dogs and pidgeons display ESP? Well, at least if that were true we can't put them in jail for with withholding evidence like we would have to do to all the human scam artists, um, I mean psychics. (shouldn't all ESP practitioners be brought up on conspiracy to terrorism charges, since no one warned us of 9/11?)

Anyway, is it that homing pidgeons can fly home again after being blindfolded and taken miles and miles away? I urge you to accept the fact that there are things you either don't, or choose not to understand. i urge you further to dispense with any notions of ESP, which has been tested hundreds of times always with the same result: it doesnt exist. period.
