Why Cities Have So Many Pigeons

American cities are as much a place for people as they are for pigeons. Our leftover pizzas, bagels, and donuts provide an endless supply of food for these birds. Plus, we feed them. City buildings also mimic the natural seaside cliffs in pigeons’ native range — North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe — making them feel right at home.

Why Cities Have So Many Pigeons

I raised a baby pigeon that fell from its nest some weeks ago. Now it's free and happy, and I put a little green band on its right leg so I can recognize it. I last saw it yesterday.

I got nothing for them, no money, no food I got nothing leave me alone? 😂 the dude killed me

Americans: These birds are pests
Australians: *Have you tried going to war with them?*

Pigeons are nice. Seagulls are rude. They steal food right outta your hands!

This is why I love YouTube recommendations. I get to learn why there is so many pigeons in cities. Now I can go on about my life peacefully. Much love to pigeons. May these city bois prosper.

I love pigeons. Where I live, there’s barely any food. Sometimes I feed them some birdseed since where I buy the food for my birds, there’s a flock of like 10 pigeons. I LOVE them 😍 I love birds because of them

This typical dude 0:17 would call 911 for pigeon harassment

[devandevan]

Listen, they clean up our sidewalks. We should be thankful. As a plus, they’re cute and they have cool purple/green necks.

“Pigeons are aggressive”

Wth, pigeons are literally the most peaceful animal ever.

[RomulusTheWild]

I personally think it's a good thing that pigeons are plentiful in cities it's means that cities are not just biological dead zones that are for people only
