What about those annoying city pidgeons??

[Theannoyingbirds]

This may seem rude, but I need info on these pigeons, so any info (contraversial is good) would be nice.

[bigbird]

What kind of information are you seeking? I agree that street pigeons can be annoying. Looking for soulutions?

"If homeless people had wings and lived in the rafters of city buildings, we would all be in deep ****".

It makes me sad to see how wild city pigeons are forced to live. I wish I had a soultion. I know that when one of these birds are brought home, housed and fed properly, and cleaned up, they are far from annoying. The are actually quite charming.

Our resident pigeon plays like a puppy! We have many birds, Some of them very expensive.
I've also had dogs, cats, iguanas and fish. Far and away, this rescued street pigeon is my favorite, I really had no idea...

Please be kind and noble in your dealings with these wonderful creatures. If you'd like to know more, talk to me.

welcome to the group, u've found the right
company
city people may find city pigeons annoying .. but city pigeons may not find city people annoying at all - why's that ?
Because they have a heart, a heart abundance of love and understanding, though they may not be as intelligent as the human species, but they have a heart large enough to feel that the world belongs to all creatures, not just themselves, so they learn how to live harmoniously with their own folks and non-wing folks as well. They will look for their own food, strictly no stealing, find their own place to sleep at night, never infringing into anyone's privacy .. window shop with the rest but never getting in our way, always maintaining their own pace of life.

what's so annoying abt that ? Unzip some understanding from your heart.
Spend some time observing them, their lifestyles, their habits and behavior as u will observe your own child.., then only u will discover that they are not as annoying as u thought.

Remember, homo sapiens always have their own sets of judgement to label something good or bad, but then who are we to rule the earth. If one cannot change one's mind, then no one else can.

I wish u happy discovery !

I need info on how city pigeons came to New York, so if anyone is an expert on this, please answer!

[raynjudy]

Gee, you're not a people person, are you?
It's okay, I've been to New york City...

But since you did say please, here goes: Nobody's exactly sure.

Have a nice day!

I live in London where there are lots of wild city pigeons, some with only one foot and some very greasy and dirty. Most people hate them and think they're dirty but if you watch them they have the sweetest natures and are just doing their thing without hurting anyone. so just give them some respect, that's all.
Now the London Mayor even wants to ban them from Trafalgar square in the city centre because of their droppings. Luckily his plan has some opposition.

Before my time runs out, I plan to visit England. My father was there in WWII and has had nothing but good things to say about the country and the people.

When I visit, I dearly hope to see the pigeons dad spoke of.

Please persuade your government to set a proud example, and remember the exemplary service of these wonderful creatures in two world wars. They've earned their place in all our lands, and most of our hearts.
