Shaping would be the best procedure to teach pigeons to play Ping-Pong. Shaping is a process of reinforcing behaviors that approximate the desired behavior. In this case, the pigeon would be rewarded for moving towards the Ping-Pong ball, then rewarded for touching the ball, then rewarded for hitting the ball, and so on until the desired behavior of playing Ping-Pong is achieved.
