All About Birds: Pigeon (17 Pics)

#13 Birds are very shy, but in the city, birds accustomed to people often lose their vigilance and become victims of dogs and cats.

Vision and hearing in pigeons are well developed, but this does not save them from the dangers of city life.

#14 Pigeons living in urban areas often settle their dwellings under the roofs of buildings, while savages sit comfortably on the slopes of rocks and mountains.

The average life span of a bird usually does not exceed 5 years. We are talking about wild individuals. Some types of domestic pigeons can reach 12-15 years of age. This is due to the high-quality care of the bird, its nutrition, and the absence of natural enemies, of which there are a huge number of pigeons in the wild, both in the city and beyond.

#15 In ancient times, it was not for nothing that the pigeon was used to deliver mail.

The bird is capable of developing a high flight speed, and thanks to its excellent memory, it easily returns home.
