We saw a couple of pigeons visited our neighborhood recently. We don't know whether they are wild or pets.

Actually pigeons have adapted to urban areas, hence normal to see them in the city. Urban areas provide foods and shelters to this critter.
They consume variety of foods such as grains (corns and other seeds), insect and even household's garbage.
Not surprise to see them around food carts, parks, dumpsters and trash cans to find something to consume.
We might see pigeon roosting on the sidewalks, gardens and buildings. They look like to be relatively safe from predators by hiding on the rooftops.

Some predators that pigeons have to contend with are owls, hawks, falcons, raccoons, snakes and even cats.

Do you see pigeons in your neighborhood?

We used to see them in the stores parking lots when a storm was coming. I thought they had just flown to safety, but now we see then quite a bit even at our bird feeder.

Here we have many because they do not have predators that control their numbers and sometimes the town halls bring falcons to reduce their number when it increases excessively.
ReplyDeleteThe white Pigeons is pretty. I love the Crepe Myrtles, they were looking beautiful in my area. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.
