虽然鸽子已经被证明对几种大小和长度的错觉很敏感，但其他鸟类物种的错觉知觉还没有得到深入的测试。在这里，我们报告了班塔姆如何感知Zöllner图，其中平行线看起来不平行，因为线上叠加了短的交叉线。Watanabe et al. （Cognition 119:137-141, 2011）表明，鸽子和人类一样，将平行线感知为非平行线，但主观趋同的方向与人类相反。我们训练三只班塔姆啄食一对非平行线末端的两个空隙中较窄（或较宽）的那个。在用随机方向的交叉线（对人类没有明显的错觉）使它们适应目标线之后，我们在随机插入的探针试验中测试了班塔木的反应，其中应该引起人类标准Zöllner-like错觉的交叉线取代了随机方向的交叉线。结果表明，班塔姆和鸽子一样，感知到一种相反的Zöllner错觉。
Although pigeons have been shown to be susceptible to several size and length illusions, other avian species have not been tested intensively for illusory perception. Here we report how bantams perceive the Zöllner figure, in which parallel lines look nonparallel due to short crosshatches superimposed on the lines. Watanabe et al. (Cognition 119:137–141, 2011) showed that pigeons, like humans, perceived parallel lines as nonparallel but that the orientation of subjective convergence was opposite to that of humans. We trained three bantams to peck at the narrower (or wider) of the two gaps at the end of a pair of nonparallel lines. After adapting them to target lines with randomly oriented crosshatches (which result in no apparent illusion to humans), we tested the bantams’ responses on randomly inserted probe trials, in which crosshatches that should induce the standard Zöllner-like illusion for humans replaced the randomly oriented ones. The results suggested bantams, like pigeons, perceive a reversed Zöllner illusion.
