They feed on garbage. There are many of them, and they leave a lot of fouling. When they squat on roofs and attics it becomes a cesspit of feathers, shit, remains of dead pigeons and parasites.

I've cut fishing line off the legs of several pigeons down by Cow Tower. I love just sitting and watching them. A lot of people I know hate them, saying they are dirty creatures that leave their mess everywhere. Well, pigeon poop disappears very quickly, unlike the chewing gum, cigarette butts and crisp packets etc that humans throw everywhere. So thank you for this lovely and informative video.

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.

Otherwise they just come to eat and relax. They are so beautiful and funny, each one has it's own quirks while still distinctly pigeon. So good to see others out there with the same mind of appreciation for these birds.

I love the pigeons in my gardens. I have a selection of bird feeders for the small birds. 3 pigeons come in all day every day and pick up the seeds from the feeders. 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 once tried to rescue a footless pigeon who was getting attacked by his fellow pigeons. We called him Darren & as it was a Sunday night placed him in an Actifry box with holes some food and water to protect him from the attacks as he could not fly. I still have a picture of Darren with his head poking out of the box. Next morning we drove the helpless creature to a bird sanctuary but because of his condition, they decided it was the best to put him to sleep.

I found a bald sparrow on the floor , had to take him home …Jeremy was his name and he lived in our home for about six months, we eventually weaned him to the garden until he flew away ❤️

LOL never give them any pigeon for treatment ever again....I have 2 pigeons here without one foot, they lost them since strings were tied on their feet for too long....if I could post a short video of little champ here I would just to show you that pigeon can survive without one foot I love how vets like to take this high ground of what would be best to do and they dont know shit The only reason these idiots kill birds is because nobody would pay for treatment I was willing to pay for it , for example in Norway last year was some disease where pigeons would twist their heads when pecking food i think its called paramyxovirus infection...bottom line they could not eat food properly so what did norwegian vets and goverment decided to do? Put to sleep every pigeon that was affected ....mother fuckers

Found a scalped town pigeon near work, he kinda found us as we were feeding our locals. I took him to our vets who operated on him and saved his life. We looked after him for 2 weeks until the stitches fell out... lovely little fella. We currently have a woodie that was found in the road... 3 days so far and he is perking up... I have all the time in the world for kind people.

Another informative video (thank you). I always think it's funny that male pigeons always seem to do the "I want to mate with you dance" - and the females never seem interesred. I used to joke with my mate back in the day that he alaways had the same reaction when talking to women in nightclubs! 😆🐦

Haha, it'd so true. They always seem so uninterested and if anything, slightly annoyed by the males attempts.

Pigeon racers can actually tell the sex of a bird 99% of the time at a glance. You can tell by their build but mostly by their heads. Great videos 😊

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 :)
