Re: feeding pigeons
*DO YOU LIKE PIGEONS?
It depends. City pidgeons I find are mean and dirty, but theres some ones in my neighborhood that just fly around and walk.
*DO YOU FEED THEM?
Sometimes. There was a black pidgeon with a broken wing and I fed it some crumbs and seed, and I still see it flying around the park.
*DO YOU AGREE WITH FEEDING THEM?
In more open areas, yes, but in cities, they can cause problems. In cities, they eat trash and their waste becomes toxic, and they get dirty.
*DO YOU KEEP THEM AS PETS?
No.
*HAVE YOU EVER HELD A PIGEON?
No.
*ARE YOU AGAINST SCARING AWAY PIGEONS FROM THE CITY?
The city, yes. Other areas, no.

My area has far too many parakeets, pigeons, seagulls and literally no other bird! D:the birds have been there longer than us, so really they have more rights to live somewhere than we do!
Not parakeets. 
They're not native to the area; they've completely overrun it in about ten years.

i meant pigeons and seagulls. 
it is bad that the parakeets where introduced there 
but the parakeets are there now, there's no point in getting rid of them. people should leave nature how it is...

well sorta. doves are smaller and wild (like turtle-doves or rock doves) , where the larger feral or domestic birds, are pigeons. there are some tropical ones like the Victoria crowned pigeon or the new zealand pigeon) so they are the same thing really.

I don't live in a city with pigeons. I don't know what they do when they're in the city. There's a flock by the pier though :3
This is a temporary signature. It will exist until I think of something witty.

Yeah, I'm gonna leave them be, but not feed them like you do.

No, this thread reminded me of that song. I have nothing against pigeons. (I think they're kinda cute.) Sorry.

pigeons and doves are the same family, but doves are more petite. and, believe it or not, not all doves are white.

Most white doves are actually white varieties of pigeons. There's no real difference, it's just different species names.

Re: feeding pigeons
I've never fed pigeons before but there's tons of them here. And they won't fly away from you.
You lived a good four years, Scratch 1.4... May you rest in peace...
