In some cities, no matter how big or small, it seems like the population of pigeons is equal in size to the population of citizens; if not bigger. In such cities, they tend to have a favored spot, too—like a large square or a park, where, if the winged creatures are lucky enough, there might even be a person feeding them the crumbs of their pastry.

But it’s not always pigeons that are happy to be in close proximity with humans. In some places, other animals act just like pigeons do, be it other birds, cats, or even moose. These are just a few examples of ‘pigeons’ from different places in the world, but if you’re curious to see more, scroll down to view them on the list below.

In order to learn more about pigeons, Bored Panda got in touch with two experts, Professor at the Department of Natural Resources Science at the University of Rhode Island, Peter Paton, and Professor at the Department of Biology at Queen's University, Robert Montgomerie. You will find both of their thoughts in the text below.

We have a family that sat out on our deck all summer eating bird seed. With our deck lights on the railings, it looked like a social club for trash pandas.

Racoons are so cute but they make the creepiest noises. So many nights I would here them chattering and talking to each other outside my bedroom window and it sounds like possessed toddlers screaming and screeching and crying. Totally freaked me out the first couple of times. They were always fighting over trashcans on garbage day or picking oranges off our trees

    The squirrels at the prison I was in are tame enough to sit with people. One of the vegetarian subs was peanut butter, and they'd give little prepackaged cups. I was outside one day, and someone had opened a peanut butter cup and given it to Chip the squirrel. He held the cup between his front paws, and ate the peanut butter out of it. Sometimes people gave them fireballs, a hard jawbreaker that's very hot on the outside, but is sweet on the inside. The squirrels would lick the hot off, stopping now and then to make a face. The worst I ever gave them was cereal or popcorn. As cute as they were, eating fireballs, they didn't actually like them, and all they are is hard corn syrup with red dye and cinnamon.

    In quite a few cities, a square covered in pigeons is far less surprising than an empty one. Take Milan, for instance; expecting to see at least a few of them in Piazza del Duomo is a pretty safe bet. The same goes for St. Mark's Square in Venice, where the situation got so bad, pigeon feeding had to be officially banned, to the great sadness of the birdseed vendors in the square.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “It’s a tradition,” one of them told The New York Times, “It’s like removing Rialto or The Bridge of Sighs”—two of the main attraction points in Venice for both tourists, and, likely, pigeons.

    But what, apart from the obvious—birdseed—led flocks of these googly-eyed birds into the cities in the first place?

    Bored Panda turned to the evolutionary biologist Robert Montgomerie to discuss the reasons some animals, including different species of birds—among which, of course, pigeons—ended up living alongside people in cities. The expert pointed out four main factors, one of them being warmth, as the cities are warmer due to concrete and asphalt, among other things.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “There are also fewer predators,” the expert continued, adding that it applies when it comes to big predators, as the cities are now full of the smaller ones, such as foxes, falcons, and raccoons.

    The third reason is nest sites. “Pigeons, swallows, falcons, house sparrows, starlings and some other species all nest on buildings, which are much more plentiful than their natural sites on cliffs and tree hollows,” he explained.

    Last but not least, there’s food, which they can get either by feeding at bird feeders and people’s hands, garbage, insects in gardens, or scraps that people discard while eating outside. “I once watched ibises (bin chickens) snatch sandwiches from unsuspecting picnickers in Sydney, Australia,” the expert recalled. “Clearly this was easier pickings than hunting for unsuspecting frogs in marshes.”

    This reminds me of my hometown. Deer are everywhere and don't care about you or where you may need to go. I lost count of the times when a small herd of 10-15 deer would be just chilling in my driveway in the early morning and hey would absolutely not move for me to head out to work. You could honk, try to slowly drive towards them, get out and try to "sho them" and they would just stare at you a bit before getting back to whatever it was they were doing

I didn't realize that those sweet, elderly ladies carried really really big sticks for a reason. So when I was too slow taking off the cellophane wrap...about half-a-dozen deer mobbed me, with one starting to eat the tourist guide map out of my hand. I bought a raku-wear sake set from a roadside vendor, to commemorate getting mugged by sacred deer in Nara park....

    Another reason why some birds might end up in cities, according to Professor Peter Paton, is their resemblance to the natural environment the winged creatures are used to. “Pigeons are native to cliffs, so possibly city buildings mimic their native habitat,” he pointed out. “They were slowly domesticated over time and evolved a commensal relationship with humans, so ended up in cities.”

    The expert added that they are arguably easier to domesticate than other birds, which is why they are adapted to living with humans more so than most other species.

    Even though pigeons seem to have adapted to the city lifestyle quite well, certain instincts affect their habits even in the concrete jungle. For instance, the fact that they tend to move around in flocks.

    “It’s about safety in numbers. An anti-predator strategy,” Paton said. “Pigeons are common prey to raptors, such as falcons, and when you are in a large flock, it is easier to evade predators, as more eyes are watching out for them. Also, in a large flock, it’s more likely that a neighbor will be eaten rather than you.”

    I am really amazed finding so many birds even in urban Australia. It is something that one cannot see in the Philippines after almost all the forest had been logged. Most endemic and indigenous birds in the Philippines are forest birds. There are some special spots though that have been saved from logging.

    This is my balcony for much of the year, they are an interesting bird...they are bullies as mentioned in a previous comment...they also do the pair thing which is so cute, but if one set has landed and are eating another set will land and push them out of the way, but they take it often not fighting back, it seems to be a proper hierarchy. They are also incredibly easy to train...they used to go to our kitchen window and tap on the glass every morning and I was able to communicate to them somehow to fly to the other side of the building and access food via the balcony and they completely stopped the kitchen routine they had followed for years.

    “There are lots of animals and birds that move around in social groups outside the breeding season, either for enhanced vigilance for predators, or finding food; or, more rarely, for sussing out potential mates for the next breeding season,” Montgomerie suggested.

    Quite a few species on this list are among those who travel in groups, such as monkeys, cockatoos, and cats, just to name a few.

    I might have to call shenanigans on this one. Those horses look way too groomed to be wild. Likewise none of that vegetation around that house, including the grass, is native to Nevada. That of course doesn’t mean that someone couldn’t have planted that non-native fauna. But too many red flags here

    But with all sorts of species charting human-filled territories, is it likely that animals are becoming less and less fearful? Prof. Montgomerie does not think that’s the case; not in the natural world, at least. “This may be true of animals in cities but in the countryside, animals and birds seem to be most wary where they have regular contact with humans and are tamest on remote islands and in the arctic where humans are relatively scarce.”

    Even though not to the same extent as the Arctic, Alaska is another place where people are relatively scarce; but ‘pigeons’ are not. Except ‘pigeons’ in Alaska are not the same as those roaming the streets in Italy.

    As quite a few pictures on this list show, an eagle is the bird that can be as commonly seen in Alaska as pigeons are elsewhere. As a matter of fact, the bald eagle population there is reportedly greater than in all of the lower 48 states combined, according to the Forest Service. The birds seemingly thrive there not only because of fewer people, but also because of the condition of their natural habitat and abundance of food.

    That’s why if Home Alone 2 was set in Alaska, the kind-hearted Pigeon Lady would likely be feeding a very different kind of bird. (And have a different moniker, too.)

    I used to feed wild squirrels. I don’t want to be a downer for anyone, but now I strongly recommend against it. It started when I saw a one-eyed squirrel looking for food around the bottom of the bird feeder. I felt bad for her and started to give her nuts. Fast forward to the winter months and at peak feeding time, I’d have 20+ squirrels on the deck. Unfortunately, while cute, they are still wild creatures, and things got ugly fast. Once dependent on the food, they’d chew through the screen doors to try to get into the house. They stashed nuts in the area between our deck stairs and the railing, separating the railing, causing us to have to have the deck stairs re-built. In groups, they were aggressive towards each other and other smaller animals, like red squirrels and chipmunks - and birds, of course. I had decided to stop feeding them, and then the daily visits from coyotes started. That sealed the deal. I learned my lesson about disturbing the balance of nature.

    LOL. Best believe they are poisonous anyway. They eat rosary peas- highly toxic to humans and most animals. So the birds have some of the poison in/ on them which is fatal :D

    Although called "common bronzewing", there are many other pigeons in Australia that are more common. Particularly the spotted turtledove, an immigrant originally from South East Asia.

    Even though in some cities it feels like there are more pigeons than people, they are not the most populous species of bird out there; they succumb in number to their distant relative, the chicken. It is believed that the pigeon and chicken lineages diverged more than 85 million years ago, which led to the former becoming the most abundant bird worldwide, with a population reaching 30 billion. The pigeon—well, its cousin, the dove, to be exact—is third on the list with a population of 475 million.

    Arcadia, CA? Right by the Arboretum? The peacocks at the Arboretum are protected, and tend to wander off property and into the surrounding neighborhoods. Believe me, you will be in a world of s**t if you mistreat one or hit it with your car. There are warning signs all over the place telling you the peacocks are protected and have 100% right of way on the roads surrounding the Arboretum. (I lived and went to high school in Arcadia.)

    I would be terrified there. Those monkeys! Their teeth are fearful and they are notoriously short tempered. When I lived in Hong Kong there was a wild area just behind my house, full of them. We foreigners were always warned not to give them food, pester them, approach them or try to touch them or their babies. Also, we were advised to keep our belongings under control and pay attention. They usually snatched cameras, car keys and the like from visitors. And once they grab something... good bye!

    I don't see many crimson rosellas or galahs at my place on Brisbane Water (NSW Central Coast), Heaps of rainbow lorikeets, cockatiels, white cockatoos, brush turkeys, magpies and kookas, all of which I feed every morning. The odd rosella which visits is very shy and spooks easily

    I used to feed wild pigeons (rock doves) here in the UK. Some people were really furious about it. One person went ballistic and killed the most beautiful one in the flock I was feeding, and left her outside my door on the door mat. I had to stop feeding them so others wouldn't also be cruelly killed out of spite. What's wrong with some people?

    If this is a dyed dove this should be illegal. I don’t care if the dye isn’t toxic it’s just complete disrespect of another living thing all for entertainment. Disgusting. It really shouldn’t even have to be illegal bc people should just do better.

    This is actually a tea interesting debate: why has Australia done almost nothing for road crossing safety for animals? I’ve lived in Europe and we have large boards or highway crossings designed to filter animals across the highways safely. Kangaroos cannot jump those boards, however the only prevention mechanism I’ve seen in Victoria are wire fences about 1 meter high, perfect for juvenile kangaroos to get their feet stuck in when trying to vault it.

    Important lesson for any tourist. Don't. Feed. The. Wildlife. Sometimes deer, moose, elk, etc will get fed by one human, then when another human doesn't give them food, they attack. Seriously. An Arizona woman was feeding elk on the reg, then when she didn't have food, they killed her. Just a few days ago. Also happened here in Canada with some moose and deer

    I think that any of the posts on this page could turn into a bit of an issue if the animals in question were persistent, unafraid of humans, and just wanted to get food. Most of them are not domesticated animals and so don't have a relationship with humans baked into their DNA, and even the ones that have descended from domesticated animals if they haven't been handled for several generations could end up destructive or dangerous. Small doses would seem ideal, rather than having to live with it.

    Dutch Harbor/Unalaska it a beautiful hellhole. Huge fishing port and nothing else. Lots of these dumpster chickens fighting over whatever fish bits they can find. Since they are protected, they can't be harassed. Several times, I've seen pallets of packaged seafood destroyed because it was parked on a dock. Eagle lands on it, realizes it's food and starts tearing into it. Others come over and it's a mess. Nothing you can do but watch. Another problem created by humans. I miss Alaska but not the fishing industry.

    God this is so disturbing people think it's wonderful it is far from wonderful. those female kittens will start having kittens at 6months old 2 litters a yr up to 9 kittens each. And so on and so. Those animals will most likely die a horrible death by car, by human, starvation, illness, weather heat/snow being eaten by a larger predator. It is sad and cruel. And it will be a never ending cycle for those street cats that No one gives a f**k about .

    Wild Chickens Are Everywhere In Kauai. They Were Already Around Even When We Just Landed In The Airport

    Wild Chickens Are Everywhere In Kauai. They Were Already Around Even When We Just Landed In The Airport

    Legend has it that these chickens became the “pigeons” of Kauai after Hurricane Iniki in 1992 destroyed all chicken enclosures, releasing them all into the jungle. So now they’re literally everywhere, roaming the streets, shopping centers, restaurants, etc.

    How Did Palos Verdes Become Home To So Many Peacocks?

    How Did Palos Verdes Become Home To So Many Peacocks?

    Legend has it that Frank Vanderlip, the "founding father of Palos Verdes" received them as a gift from the Wrigley family, the chewing gum tycoons. Others claim he received them from fellow real estate magnate Elias Baldwin, who loved to display his wealth and bought 50 peacocks from India. Whatever the case, peacocks are a common site in many Palos Verdes neighborhoods still today.
