Domestic pigeons, also known as rock pigeons, are birds that have been bred by humans for thousands of years. They are commonly found in urban areas and are known for their ability to adapt to various environments. These birds come in a variety of colors and patterns, making them popular among bird enthusiasts. Pigeons are social creatures that often live in flocks. They primarily feed on seeds, grains, and fruits. Their remarkable homing ability allows them to find their way back to their nests over long distances, which has made them valuable for messaging and racing in the past.
