Fun fact: pigeons purr when they are happy. This is most commonly seen with pet pigeons. They also love being petted and will take being petted over treats when they are pets.

Once my boyfriend and I were standing at a quai wall at the riverside, holding hands and looking at the sunset when I noticed a pigeon couple about 20 metres away from us, sitting on the railing. It was not mating season, they were just a couple sitting close to each other, enjoying the view at the riverside, exchanging kisses and snuggles and showing each other true affection. Just like us. It had a lasting impact on how I think of them (though I never hated them to begin with).

Also a funfact: Pigeons can pretty much speed run de-evolution. Look up how many generations it takes for pigeons, if you mix their breeds, to return back to becoming a basic rock pigeon. TWO. Well, two to three. But it goes that fast. It takes like a year. That would be like breeding a Chihuahua with a poodle, that offspring with another random dog and they return to being a wolf again.

Anyone who says pigeons are the rats with wings has never dealt with seagulls. Like everything in this video people think pigeons are, seagulls actually are.

That Cher Ami, despite its injuries, half dead, still flew to where he was supposed to go, instead of literally anywhere else in its pain and panic, is more proof than anything else in this video, that these birds are loyal and intelligent.

i once saw a pidgeon with most of its skull exposed and sunbleached, and it was still walking around like nothing was wrong with only one eye. they practice necromancy too.

I absolutely adore pigeons, especially after hearing how they're actually incredibly intelligent and how they're a rare case of a species of bird not being a jerk whenever they're given the chance, so the positive press here is so appreciated. Also I'm terrified of turkeys (it's a long story) so I totally get where you're coming from.

Just a reminder: Pigeons are domesticated. Parrots are not. Pigeons are also sweet, gentle, very emotionally sensitive pets, and even if they do attack, their beaks can't break skin like a parrot's can. They're also much, MUCH quieter. Beginner bird owners should consider a pigeon, not a parrot.

Genuinely never got why people don't like pigeons. 90% of what they do is hang around and clean up the sidewalk. They're not even ugly, they look like the generic definition of a bird.

The eating pigeon story reminds me of one of the first times I went to the homeland (Colombia) and was walking around with my mom and saw a store with chickens in cages. I asked my mom excitedly ā€œyou can have a chicken as a pet?!ā€ And she said ā€œthose arenā€™t pets.ā€ I cried the rest of the day.

Thank you so much for recognizing them and giving them credit. Humanity really let them down, used and abandoned. They are amazing beings. Absolutely adorable too.

Smartest pigeon I ever saw was one who faked an injury to get food. When it saw someone eating it would droop it's wings and limp towards them, looking as pathetic as possible. The people it approached seemed to feel sorry for it and threw it some food. Once it finished the food it stood up as normal and strutted away perfectly fine to find it's next victim. I saw it use the same trick successfully on multiple people!

Man I hate how humanity goes from respecting the potential of an animal, to blaming them for stuff they are not even related to, like imagine how much couldā€™ve got done if we didnā€™t give up on using them and showed their abilities respect

I had a pet pigeon I raised from an egg, named Pidgey. He was legit one of the best birds I ever had, and I own parrots! Whenever I was sick and bed ridden, he would lay beside me in bed and just coo anytime he saw me wake up. He always wanted cuddles an to hang with the family, also dude was potty trained. I am so glad to see you face your fears and learn about these smart lil guys, thank you for sharing this wonderful video! They are amazing creatures and deserve far more love than majority of the world will ever give them.

As the Mother of Pigeons I approve of this video. I know a pigeon fancier with diabetes on Twitter who's pigeon will peck her arm when she needs to take her insulin. And my emotional support animal for my Autism was my old male pigeon JonJon; he loved me as his mate. Fun Fact, Nikola Tesla who was famously anti social in his dealings with people, loved pigeons and would feed them in the park. At one point he saw an injured female, took her to his home and nursed her back to health stating "I love her as any man loves a woman". Also Mike Tyson threw his first punch when some neighbourhood bullies killed one of Pigeons in front of him, inspiring him to become strong enough to defend his birds, the rest is boxing history.

Pidgeons are honestly the only bird I could keep as a pet without going insane. I also never understood the hate, especially since I grew up in a town with way too many seagulls and those WILL aidrop you and steal your food.

Honestly if I didn't have cats, I'd love to look after these beautiful birds. I knew the story about them getting slandered out of our lives, and felt real bad for the poor things. They deserve better

Here in Turkey some historical mosques have stone nests for pigeons. Like they built miniature stone houses for them. Also they can learn tricks and stuff. They are really great pets too. My neighbor has 10 pigeons and he flies them regularly. Also I never saw a super dirty pigeon in my life. I think they are the second most popular avian pet in Turkey (first is the budgie, we are obssessed with budgies)
