- Naturally cliff dwellers, the instinct of the pigeon

is to find a ledge to nest or roost on and to forage for food.

- In the urban environment almost every building is a

potential pigeon home.

- When people feed the pigeons or leave food out or

available, this creates a sense of security for the pigeons.

- When there is an abundance of food, water and shelter

available, the pigeons mate, nest and increase their flock

size and population.
