I've only found out in the last year how awesome pigeons really are. I started feeding the birds on site and the pigeons now approach me when I arrive in the morning or follow me around. They look pretty gormless, but are actually ridiculously smart and they do some pretty funny stuff at times. I was lucky enough to watch 2 of them go from egg to fledgling over the winter this year.

I once met a woman on the beach at Southend, who was walking along with a pigeon on her shoulder. The bird flew down to other pigeons, and after a minute of two, back to the woman. I stopped to speak to her and she told me that she'd rescued the squab from her balcony after a rainstorm, and reared it. She tried many times to release it back to the wild, but it always came back to her. Once she sneaked away from it - but it returned to her flat and tapped the window until she let it in. It slept in a small cat bed. After a few weeks of talking to her on my beach walk, I didn't see her anymore. I always wondered what happened to her - and her pigeon. Incredible relationship.

One has built a nest in my gardens. The pair fly off when they see me. The single one is almost friendly and I've almost got it to feed from my hand. It's taken almost 18 months to get it within 10 feet. I know it waits for me to put the small feeders out at first light, and I've noticed it looks at me, it cocks its head and watches.

Wonderful little video. I love pigeons. There's just something comforting about them when they walk and gently bob their heads. They are my favorite bird and favorite animal. And yes, they are very intelligent. I have known several wild pigeons that would interact with me on a daily basis, when I used to feed them seeds in my yard, many, many years ago. Their eyes hint at their intelligence, and I could feel them analyse me and the surroundings with every visit. They could also tell when it wasn't me in the yard, because they wouldn't stop by for food. They would only drop by the yard when I was in it, not anyone else in my family, since I was the only one who would feed them seeds. How's that for intelligence. Beautiful and amazing birds.

As a gardener in London I have a bit of a love hate relationship with Pigeons. Love them because they are always about and are form of company. Hate them as put some grass seed down and they will wipe it out in hours. Ferel pigeons are diminishing in numbers. They have nowhere to nest now. All the derelict buildings are yuppy flats and there are nets and prongs everywhere. They used to be well loved in the cities with people making pilgrimages to feed the pigeons. Remember trafalgar square? No a days they are not encouraged and they say they spread disease. However, I have noticed they pick up food which mice and rats would take later.

One day, I was astounded to learn first hand just how fast and agile pigeons can be in flight. The corner of my eye was caught by what I thought were two pigeons chasing along, maybe 50-60 feet off the ground. When I looked properly, the one leading went into a vertical power dive, then twisting and swerving to avoid the ground and flew away in a totally different direction. After that couple of seconds or so, I then realised that other bird was not a pigeon, but a peregrine falcon chasing it's lunch - unsuccessfully. The falcon flew around in a couple of circles screeching furiously in frustration before heading off. Perhaps it was an inexperienced youngster, as it was autumn or winter when I witnessed this dramatic spectacle.

Fun Facts: Pigeons scare seagulls. When a seagull comes near to a pigeon, the pigeon will clap with his/her wings and seagull flies away. Seagull can only snatch food from pigeon if the pigeon is not caring about the food, while seagulls can snatch the food from human hands without getting scared. It is very common for pigeons to chase each other over food and forget about food which let seagulls steal the food. One pigeon can scare away 5+ seagulls just by reaching them.

I remember reading the oldest pigeon in captivity was 45 years. I have had rescued feral pigeons with me 17 years now. Many people in the pigeon groups on the on the internet report pigeons over 25 years.

I,ve befriended my local pigeons with winter seeds sprinkled on the lawn… one or two of them approach me when i,m on the doorstep or in the garden. They all stare at me when i leave the house 👀 it’s cool and a bit uncomfortable :)
