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

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

[@A.D.540]

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

The guy with the tattoos reminds me of the Pigeon Lady in Home Alone 2

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.

[@devandevan1403]

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

[@tristenallen6693]

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

I dont see anything wrong with them. I like pigeons

[@jorgecanales798]

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

Americans: These birds are pests

This is why I love KZbin 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.
