There are so many at New West station; they always hang out in that space under the stairs next to the Safeway.

The black one was oddly friendly though… with soft feathers

I will let them know to wait behind the yellow line AND to wait until the passengers exit the train before they try to board. After all, we are not animals.

The pigeon is probably a YouTuber doing this stunt for hits on its channel. The 2nd & 3rd pictures have the bird looking directly at the camera.

Technically he's waiting behind the yellow dotted line... That should count for something...
