Have you ever noticed that pigeons never choose for sitting on tree’s branches but always on houses, monument’s or other building’s ledges? Do U know Y don’t pigeons sit or nest on trees?

The answer is Pigeons are form the north Africa originally, from Egypt where there were not trees in ancient times and the birds nested on rocks and cliffs of surrounding mountains. Since this time they prefer ledges to trees.

General Information
Pigeons (Columbia livia) typically have a gray body with a whitish rump, two black bars on the secondary wing feathers, a broad black band on the tail, and red feet (Fig. 1). Body color can vary from gray to white, tan, and black. The average weight is 13 ounces (369 g) and the average length is 11 inches (28 cm). When pigeons take off,
their wing tips touch, making a characteristic clicking sound. When they glide, their wings are raised at an
angle.
Range
Pigeons are found throughout the world.
Pigeons are highly dependent on
humans to provide them with food
and sites for roosting, loafing, and
nesting. They are commonly found
around farm yards, grain elevators,
feed mills, parks, city buildings,
bridges, and other structures.
Food Habits
Pigeons are primarily grain and seed
eaters and will subsist on spilled or
improperly stored grain. They also will
feed on garbage, livestock manure,
insects, or other food materials provided
for them intentionally or unintentionally
by people. In fact, in some
urban areas the feeding of pigeons is
considered a form of recreation. They
require about 1 ounce (30 ml) of water
daily. They rely mostly on free-standing
water but they can also use snow
to obtain water.
