An Interesting Idea...!!!
Pigeons: The Ultimate Urban Survivors
(by Michelle Stripling)
They are clearly the most visible form of urban structure. Take a visit to any city and you're almost guaranteed to see them. Adorning statues, fountains, parks, buildings, bridges, and other structures, pigeons have become a permanent fixture of urban landscapes, typically London. They can be found on the front steps of Central Libraries and are waiting beside park benches for handouts from visitors, young and old alike.
Pigeons have been remarkably successful in adapting to urban environments. They thrive in the most unlikely of habitats, a concrete jungle that naturally supports very little life. Yet, pigeons have found a way to coexist in close proximity with man in these areas and, remarkably, to rely on man's structures and garbage for food, water, and shelter.
Perhaps something to ponder...
