We domesticated them, and then abandoned them the second they lost their use to us. it's sick. it's why they're shit at surviving on their own, why they stick to human populated areas, and rely on us for survival. pigeons are more important than people to me. I don't care. I use how people treat street pigeons as a litmus test for psychopathy.
 
Used to feed pidgies as a kid.

Used to catch pidgies as a kid (just make a trail of seeds from outside window sill to inside, and close the window when they're in).

Used to put caught pidgies in backpack as a kid, and covertly release them in school/local minimart. staff chasing after them was fucking hilarious.

Pidgie the bestest bird ever.

I really want to build a TRAD dovecote and water bath for pigeons on a small spate of land. Just let them do their thing and chill and I'll walk and sweep up the guano for cash on the side.
 
I was traveling once and saw a pigeon pecking at a piece of baguette on the ground, but only one peck at a time before straightening up. Peck - stand - peck - stand. Meanwhile, a small sparrow was standing off to the side, watching and waiting. When the pigeon straightened itself up after a peck, the sparrow just swooped in took the whole piece. The pigeon went in for another peck, but didn't find anything; I wonder if it knew what happened.

Sadly, I once witnessed a morning dove tragedy.
I was at a small tropical resort resort. While I was reading on the back deck, I watched as a morning dove swooped down toward the pool as if it was preparing to land (as they are apt to do). However, there was one small problem; the pool was surrounded by a plexiglass fence of some sort for safety reasons insurance while still allowing light to get through. The poor thing slammed headfirst at full speed into it and fell back to the ground. At first I thought it was stunned, but it was moving its head all around trying to figure out what was going on; it broke its neck and instantly paralyzed itself. It was dead within a minute. Poor little guy had no idea what had happened or what was happening. At least it didn't suffer.

May you be finding lots of breadcrumbs and cooing in pigeon heaven. ❤️
