    Pigeons are so lovable. People bat them away and kick at them and yet they never seem to take offense, in fact they come right back like nothing happened. I wish I had that kind of patience and fortitude.

      Surprisingly a little known fact: pigeons are doves.

        Yes, literally rock doves. And yet for some reason the white doves are beautiful symbols of peace and the rock-colored doves are filthy flying vermin.

        My theory: pigeons are dirty and scruffy because they survive on trash, and that’s why humans hate them. We see our ugly reflection in them.
