Pigeons provide a good role model for society. The traditional doves of love and peace, pigeons mate for life and set a good example for people by the way they care for their mate and their young, share feeding areas, and live peacefully with each other. Pigeons provide ambiance. Pigeons provide nourishment. Endangered Peregrine Falcons, for example, would not be staging a comeback without the pigeon as their prey base.
Pigeons are benign residents.
They do not compete with indigenous animals for food or shelter. And, contrary to popular belief, cases of pigeon diseases spread to humans are extremely rare and, in most areas, like Arizona, are nonexistent. Pigeons have religious significance. Common city pigeons are actually European Rock Doves. They are the biblical dove of love and peace.
