I have been putting food in a high birdhouse for more than 15 years, but if I put food on the ground, the pigeons come closer and closer to humans. If I put the food on the ground, the pigeons will come closer and closer to the humans. If I make movements such as slowing down or stopping so as not to scare them, they will come closer. Nowadays, pigeons come to visit us almost all year round.😍
