I'm writing a story with pigeons in it, and I don't know if they blink. Anyone know?

"The innate character of reflexes is evident in newly hatched birds, which, like older birds, blink in response to blowing dust or crouch when they hear a sudden noise."

Yeah, I know, I found another site a while ago. I just forgot to update my post.
But thanks for looking, though.
And I'll have your critique out to you tomorrow, btw.
