Pigeons, originally known as rock doves, have existed for millions of years and are found across the United States and Canada, primarily in urban areas. They are characterized by their plump bodies and varied coloration, often nesting in buildings and natural cliffs. Historically, pigeons served as carriers for messages and continue to offer benefits to humans.

4. Pigeons have been around for a long time – long before
humans. They originated several million years ago in
Asia. Pigeons range throughout all of the United States
and most of Canada and are found in almost all
metropolitan areas. Pigeons have long been kept and
raised in captivity. The common pigeon was imported by
early settlers as food animals and to serve as carriers of
messages. They were originally called "rock doves" and
are closely related to doves.

5. A common sight in cities around the world, Rock
Pigeons crowd streets and public squares, living on
discarded food and offerings of birdseed. In addition
to the typical blue-gray bird with two dark wingbars,
you'll often see flocks with plain, spotted, pale, or
rusty-red birds in them. Introduced to North America
from Europe in the early 1600s, city pigeons nest on
buildings and window ledges. In the countryside they
also nest on barns and grain towers, under bridges,
and on natural cliffs.

6. The size and shape of pigeon is larger and plumper than
a Mourning Dove, Rock Pigeons are tubby birds with
small heads and short legs. Their wings are broad but
pointed wings and the tail is wide and rounded.
most birds are bluish gray with two black bands on the
wing and a black tip to the tail. Most birds have iridescent
throat feathers. Wing patterns may include two bars, dark
spots, or can be plain. The tail is usually dark tipped.

urban areas
Farmland
rocky cliffs.

8. During nest building, the female sits on the nest and
makes a flimsy platform of straw, stems, and sticks from
materials brought to her one at a time by the male.
Pigeons reuse their nests many times, and they don't
carry away the feces of their nestlings the way many
birds do.
Males typically choose the nest site, then sit in place
and coo to attract a mate.
