We don't have too many here. I love watching the ones that land on my grandma's roof. There have been pigeons by her house since long before I was born. I always loved watching them stand on her roof. There are so many colours too. Autumn caught an injured racer last summer and we kept it until a guy from the local racing club came to get it. Beautiful bird. I had no problem letting Autumn pick it up to bring to me. I don't think they are any dirtier than other flock birds.

the ones here don't get close to people, but the ones in Nashvilleswarm you sometimes. we use to have to swat them away from our business's front steps.

I've got to respond to this one!!! I LOVE Pigeons. I raised them as a kid and got introduced to them by a neighbor, who raised them and raced them. I found them to be highly intelligent, beautiful and fascinating.

They are no more dirty or disease spreading than any other flock bird (as someone has already noted). Have you ever been around a flock of geese or ducks???

Yep racing is realy neat as long as the racer treats the losing pigeons good and not snapping there neck which some ppl do gets me pissed off so horrible and crewl.

Im around geese n ducks all the time one wild duck sits in my lap while it eats some salade lol.

I love pigeons!! as well as any other bird or animal! I dont have any around here, because i live out in the boonies. But we have mourning doves and i just love watching them!

Like I said already, I don't/didn't know whether the part of them being dirty is true or not it was just something I saw on TV one day. I've been around ducks and geese, and yes, they're also very dirty but I find them much prettier to look at than I do a pigeon. Also, I never said I absolutely hate pigeons, I just don't really like them...they just don't apeal to me at all. Everyone has their own opinions on different things. (oh, and I'm not worried about them carrying the avian flu as some of you seem to think).
