Image Info

Because pigeons were fed by humans as cities became developed, they became practically domesticated. Pigeons, or rock doves, enjoy the bird feed and scraps of food that citizens drop onto the ground. This usually draws a flock of pigeons, as all of them want to take a turn eating the free food.
