The lone pigeon

There was a time when we were concerned how pigeons settled on our roof top messing up there. They even were seen on window sills and the top of the statue installed in the bird bath. Talking of pigeons I had the privilege of having them all over me when I visited Italy a few years ago at a place called St Marks Square. We were allowed to feed them. They would just take it off our hands and even sit on our head and shoulders. That activity is banned now.

Perhaps because of the mess they create around. There used to be thousands of them

@jstory07 The activity is forbidden because with their excrements they were damaging monuments and statues.You could not cross Piazza Duomo in Milano without risking to get pigeon poo on your head.I am glad it is forbidden now.

During our vacation in Malaysia we went to Batu Caves and there i encountered so many pigeons. They are fed by some tourists. When i was still in secondary school , we have more than 10 doves at home . They use the roof for their poos that is why my father get rid of them.

And we hate pigeons as they make the place dirty where they sit.

We have many doves but no pigeons here. I know that the authorities tried their best to get rid of pigeons, they are dirty animals and bring diseases.
