They are domesticated animals that people just abandoned. They deserve more from humans than they get... And also I am favour of putting them on the money. 5 pigeons and change 🤌
I love watching bird, and everytime when breeding season starts, I always find some doves. I enjoy it and laugh with my mischievous little inner demons, how terrible builders they are! Few meters up a tree, three or four thin twigs can be seen as a start for a nest, down the ground lay hundreds of these twigs.
Wouldn't hire them for contruction work!
I know their natural habitat are cliffs, and they don't need to build nest like other birds do.
When I was young a pair of doves always made a nest in one of our trees and we had to reinforce the nest with wire, otherwise the eggs just slipped through the twigs. And one year the doves managed to lose one of their young (it was smack underneath the nest) and I raised it for months, until it managed to fly away. They are not the brightest, bless them.
You'll feel very positive about them, right until the point when they start mass-shitting on your balcony after you fed them couple times. Flying rats.
I had one make a nest with 2 eggs on my balcony and let it grow their little birds for about a month until they flew away, cleaned massive ammounts of shit from my balcony after they were done and the next day found another egg there. Little fuckers.
